ABOUT FIRST FRIDAYS
First Fridays is a public event for local galleries, group studios and retail venues featuring artists on a monthly basis (the first Friday of each month). Each First Friday is publicized on our website with links to maps and participating venues. Additional communication is sent to our subscribers via email, through GVL Today, Greenville 360 and Visit Greenville SC. Application for First Fridays requires image submissions of your gallery space via the upload links below and a $30 fee for marketing services throughout the calendar year (you may sign up at any time, but we recommend doing so in January to make the most of your presence for the year).
