Nine Days of all things art begins on First Friday

Examiner

Denver Arts Week (DAW) will kick off Nov. 5 with a super-sized First Friday, a huge version of the arts ritual that takes place every First Friday in eight Denver neighborhoods.  During First Friday, more than 100 art galleries and shops stay open until 9 p.m., many of them offering music, beer, wine and snacks.  There is a true street-party atmosphere as thousands and thousands of art lovers browse from gallery to gallery, mingle in restaurants and bars, listen to music and most important, purchase art.
