2025 First Fridays Artwalk

2025 First Fridays Art Walk

Planning is underway for our First Friday Art Walk! These monthly events highlight the artists, galleries, and maker spaces of Silverton's historic business district and encourage people to shop local with fun monthly themes and an eclectic mix of activities!

2025 Event Dates: June 6 ~ July 4 ~ August 1 ~ September 5
Event Time: 4 - 7 pm

We encourage shops to offer and promote special activities and attractions during First Friday, as this helps increase interest and boost foot traffic to your store!

Examples include:
- Art Demonstrations
- Craft Activities
- Opportunities to "Meet the Artist"
- Live Music
- Food & Drink
- Special Discounts
- Sidewalk Sales
- And Any Other Creative Ideas You Dream Up!
SCD obtains a permit that allows participating businesses to conduct sidewalk vending/activities during First Friday events. If you plan to serve alcohol at your shop and are not normally licensed to do so, a Gallery Permit must be obtained through the Town of Silverton. Please contact Town Hall for details. We recommend starting the liquor license process 60 - 90 days in advance. Restaurants are welcome and encouraged to participate by offering appetizer or drink specials in conjunction with the event. SCD reserves the right to deny participation for businesses that fall outside of these parameters.

In keeping with the spirit of this event and SCD's mission to promote Silverton's artists and creatives, participating business must sell original (preferably local) art and/or have a primary focus in one of these categories: visual arts and crafts, performing arts, design, film and media, literary and publishing, heritage, culinary arts, brewing/distilling and the healing/movement arts. SCD reserves the right to deny participation for businesses that fall outside of these parameters.

First Fridays is promoted through print and digital ads, online event calendars, wayfinding signage around town, and print and digital maps. Pink flags will be provided to all participating businesses, and the First Friday map is updated monthly to include participating businesses that month.
