Many Shops and Galleries have a small or no staff and have to shut down if someone gets sick.
Please check directly with with them and respect their policies.
Stay home if you are sick- First Fridays in the Exchange is on every month!

FIRST FRIDAYS in the EXCHANGE was launched on July 2, 2010.
Based on artist Sue Gordon's experience of the First Fridays event in Kansas City, she and artist Karen Schulz introduced the concept to Exchange artists, Galleries and shops, got a great response, and First Fridays is now one of Winnipeg's premier events!
Update March 2023:Our main programming, ART TALK/ART WALK is on a break.
Launched on July 7, 2012 it has been generously funded by the Winnipeg Arts Council and Manitoba Arts Council and sponsored by The Winnipeg Free Press & The Exchange District BIZ.
