Organizers of First Friday moved this month's First Friday to April 14 because of weather.
High winds were predicted for the Las Vegas valley on April 7.
"The most important thing is that we keep people safe, but we definitely didn't want to cancel the event. Thankfully all our artists, vendors, sponsors, and community members were very supportive of the idea of moving the event back a week. April 14th will be a fantastic night for the First Second Friday, and we're excited for it!" said Joey Vanas, First Friday Foundation's Executive Director.
Key elements for this month's First Friday include:
- First Friday's Featured Artist – David Leiserowitz is self-taught and picked up his first paintbrush in late 2015.
