During each First Friday over the summer - June, July, and August - the community will be invited to Butler Street between Front and Second Street to visit up to 25 local artist and maker tents. Supported by the Public Art Committee of Marietta Main Street, the Artists Village will celebrate the Art Walk theme for each month and uplift area artists and makers during the popular First Friday events in downtown Marietta.
Ahead of each First Friday event, a list of artists and makers will be shared with the public within the First Friday promotional materials. Stay tuned for a list of artists and makers the week leading up to each First Friday downtown throughout the summer!
