  The next First Friday will be on Aug. 6, 2021.

  On the first Friday of every month, St. Augustine's renowned art galleries open their doors and welcome visitors to browse the latest art exhibits at some 30 participating galleries.

  This cooperative open house showcases the amazing variety of artwork represented in St. Augustine’s fine art galleries, from contemporary to traditional and everything in between, created by local and national artists working in oils, pastels, photography, ceramics, wood, textiles and metal.

  Many of the featured artists are on hand to answer questions about their work. The monthly event takes place on the first Friday of every month from 5 to 9 p.m., rain or shine, throughout St. Augustine's historic downtown area, from Aviles to King streets, St. George Street and others — even over the Bridge of Lions onto Anastasia Island and the beach.

  This event is sponsored by The Art Galleries of St. Augustine, which is an artistic association of the diverse and eclectic art galleries located in the nation's oldest city.

  This month at First Friday Art Walk:

  • Anna Miller will open her exhibit "Inner Light: In a Time of Pandemic" at the Lightner Museum. Inspired by the natural environment and beauty of St. Johns County, "Inner Light: In a Time of Pandemic" explores the resiliency of the human spirit in times of struggle through a series of dramatic abstract paintings.
  • Sweetwater Coffee Bar & Gallery will display paintings by Sloane and Hannah Keats.
  • Aviles Gallery will hold a August Art Walk Giveaway at 8 p.m. This month’s drawing will be for an original watercolor by Dick Weaver.
  • The St. Augustine Art Association will highlight its Then & Now: 50 Years of Veteran Experiences exhibit. At 7 p.m. veteran artist Father Ron Camarda will present his book Tear in the Desert, which details his experiences in Iraq. Veterans with the Wounded Warrior Project will also be on-hand to provide information and answer questions.

  Admission: FREE

  When: 5 to 9 p.m. on the first Friday of every month.

  Where: All through historic downtown and onto Anastasia Island.

  Please note: In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, organizers have outlined the safety restrictions that are in place for this event:

  "Old Town Trolley Tours will be the only transportation service participating in this month’s Art Walk, providing complimentary wheelchair-accessible shuttle service. The trolleys have made safety their #1 priority and have installed plexiglass dividers between each row, so groups can stay together. Masks are highly recommended on the trolley.

  "The St. Augustine Distillery has kindly donated spray bottles of sanitizer for each participating Art Walk gallery. This will be the only way to ride the trolley.

  "Old Town Trolley Tours will announce the galleries that are open near each stop. You are welcome to hop on and off the Trolley during their continuous loop at any designated stop between 6 and 9 p.m.

  To use the trolley service, shuttle stickers can be picked up at any participating AGOSA gallery. Boarding stops for the shuttle service include Butterfield Garage and ArtBox, the Lightner Museum, Aviles Street and the Bold Art Gallery near Hypolita Street.
