South First Fridays has already made it on to the blog once, but it deserves another mention. San Jose hosts an art walk the first Friday of every month from 8 pm til late. The San Francisco art walk is the first Thursday night, so if you love art, you can fit both in!
The walk is mostly in the SoFa district, South First Street and San Carlos. Some of the bigger galleries include Anno Domini, Works, and ICA. There are also a couple of small galleries down William St. They have some unusual art, so don't miss out! There's also free
concerts going on mosrt months and at more than one gallery, so you can check out the local indie bands. If you're getting hungry, you can head up to 4th
and San Fernando for dinner and cocktails at the new Flames in the bottom of the parking garage. Right next door is a can't miss outlyer on the art walk, Kaleid. By far the biggest gallery participating, they have all types of art, paitings, collages, sculpture and modern art all in one space. Some of the galleries offer free snacks, and this one usually does. Kalied also offers affordable art, as low as $10 - $25. So take in the culture, and stock up if you have any bare walls!
