A Philly Art Insider’s Guide to First Friday
At the beginning of each month, Philly’s art scene gets some extra love with a citywide celebration called First Friday. Art lovers and deal seekers alike can enjoy extended hours and/or pay-what-you-wish admission at some art museums, and free wine and snacks at local galleries. Host Trenae Nuri speaks with Chelsey Luster, a Philadelphia-based curator, educator, and visual artist, about how to make the most of First Fridays.
