First Friday Scranton is unveiling a new fundraising effort, Friends of First Friday.   The program is designed to offer individuals a way to easily support the arts in Scranton and specifically the efforts of First Friday Scranton.  First Friday Scranton coordinates a monthly artwalk in downtown Scranton featuring local, regional and nationally known artists, live music and a complimentary trolley between venues. 

Cards featuring the First Friday logo will be sold for $25.  The card entitles the holder to a 10% discount on a variety of cultural attractions, dining, shopping and more!  Over 20 businesses are participated in the program: (more…)

First Friday Scranton offers another great way to learn more about the Electric City. First Friday art walks are held on the first Friday of each month (except January) at businesses and galleries around the downtown area.

MetroAction is proud to support the downtown arts initiative through Business Development Administrator Christina Hitchcock’s participation on the First Friday board. A map is published each month on www.firstfridayscranton.com in the days before the event with a full list of participating artists and venues.
