If you're in town during the first of the month, don't miss a chance to explore Philly's incredible art scene. First Friday is a free open house that takes art enthusiasts through many of the galleries in the Old City Arts District. Found mostly between Front and Third, and Market and Vine Streets, the 40-plus galleries open their doors to share a wide range of artistic creations, including everything from contemporary works in various mediums to ceramic arts. Many also offer complimentary beverages and/or and small appetizers for visitors who stop in after work, or those who simply like to sample.
