Fridays @ 5 Free Concert Series: Chris Coady

First Friday ArtWalk & Music Events

Gunnison’s First Friday ArtWalk & Music events are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate creativity each month. At the Gunnison Arts Center, visit our three galleries, view local artisans work in the Valley Makers Boutique, listen to live music on the outdoor courtyard, enjoy specialty drinks from our two featured bars, and purchase work from the Pop-Up Art Markets in the Courtyard.

This is a free community event!
