My husband and I had a nice dinner at Calavera before walking across the street to Artspace for First Friday. Appreciated the live music and variety of artists in a unique and quaint setting.

Variety of artists practicing their skills in various forms of media in one large, centrally located building. Typically live music present with basic refreshments available. Excellent alternative to the drunken barhopping that is typical of the downtown meat market scene.

My wife drags me there for First Friday and it was awesome. It's the first Friday of every month and the gallery features some very interesting local artists. And they usually are giving out finger food and maybe the occasional glass of wine. The art is interesting also. My favorite is Anna Podris who does this funky thing with bees... More

This artist studio space is 25 years old, and contains 2 stories of artist studios. We met an interesting video artist doing a residency there, who told us about Raleigh and the local arts scene. There are many different types of artists here, very flavorful, and best of all free. The artists we ran into were friendly and happy to... More

Lots of artists, lots of different styles. I would have rated it excellent if more of the artist had been in and working. This is for working artists and they can market their work right there.

Be sure to check the operating hours of Artspace and the surrounding area. Finding artists at work is a real plus, as they are usually very willing to explain their techniques. Even if they are not available, it's possible for other artists to open some studios to allow you to browse and purchase artwork. Or, when all else fails and... More

Artspace is such fun to walk thru, browse the wonderful studios and engage the artists--unique collectibles, great art of all mediums. After Artspace--take a stroll around Moore Square, stop for coffee and lunch--makes for a great lazy afternoon with guests or friends "hanging" together.
