Fairfield First Fridays Art Walk plans for a Great New Year

In 2002, Fairfield First Fridays Art Walk was started by Stacey Hurlin, Founder of the Art Life Society. It was Hurlin and her group’s desire to create a fun, interactive event for the public. This past year marked 20 years that Fairfield First Fridays has been a signature event for Fairfield. Help us make the 21st anniversary the best one yet!

For the 2023 year, we are planning our regular eleven monthly events, free movies in Central Park from June-October, and the Holiday Trade Fair in December.
