Celebrate Albany’s culture on the First Friday of the month

First Friday Albany brings the city’s arts and culture scene to life, setting the stage for a vibrant evening where community, creativity, and local talent are front and center. Organized by dedicated volunteers and local venues, First Friday connects artists with places to share their work. You’ll find exciting pop-up vendors, live musical performances, and art installations that celebrate the diverse voices and artistic expressions of Albany.

All events are free, unless otherwise noted 😉

For Black History Month, we’re thrilled to partner with the Albany Black Chamber of Commerce and businesses along the Lark Street corridor to showcase the incredible talents of our community.

Want to participate? Let your art shine! Reach out and share your artistry with folks coming through high-traffic venues along Lark Street and beyond. There is plenty of space and we'll get you connected.

Don't delay, email [email protected] to sign up!
