Stretch your legs and get ready to cover lots of (new) ground at one of the biggest, self-guided art walks in the country.
First Friday in Phoenix unfurls from Roosevelt Row Arts District and boasts myriad galleries like Alwyn House and Cahokia SocialTech + ArtSpace; small stages like The Nash, named for Phoenix jazz legend Lewis Nash; and Palabras Bilingual Bookstore, a stop to satiate bibliophiles.
RoRo, as it’s known by locals, boasts the city’s highest concentration of murals and public art in and around the unofficial Mural Alley – featuring the art, and by extension stories, of a dozen artists.
