  The next First Friday will be on January 7, 2022.

  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 more than 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, pieces are 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:

  • Impressionist painter Doreen Hardie will display her work in a solo exhibit at the St. Augustine Art Association through January 31, 2022. Strongly influenced by Greek painter Antonis Karafyllakis, Hardie's subjects are inspired by the diversity of the places where she’s lived and traveled to and reflect her deep faith.
  • The America’s Castles exhibit at the Lightner museum celebrates the opulent art and furnishings of America’s Gilded Age. Displayed in the original grand ballroom of the Alcazar Hotel, the exhibition includes fine and decorative art from the late 1800s.
  • The Art Studio at St. Augustine Beach will host an art opening from 5 to 8 p.m. featuring works by Helene Alland. An award-winning artist and graduate of Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, Alland uses colored pencils and pastels to capture the essence of St. Augustine.
  • The St. Augustine Art Association, 22 Marine St., will host an art opening for its new exhibit Monochrome, a spin off the Black & White and Shades of Gray theme. For the exhibit, artists present subjects in any style using one color in many shades and tones.

  Many of the exhibits will be on display through the end of the month.

  Admission: FREE

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

  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.
