Local First, Durango Creative District, and the ArtRoom Collective are excited you’re joining the First Friday fun and listing your event. Every First Friday we’re celebrating Durango's creative side by highlighting our community's local artists, performers, and artisans of all sorts. Live music, original performances, artist showcases, and pop-up markets are encouraged! Need help finding a local creative to host?
