First Friday Is Gallery Night

On the Friday Friday evening of each month, Art Galleries in Coral Gables open their doors for special exhibitions and artist receptions. Thousands of pedestrians line the sidewalks to enjoy fine art, food, fun and friends.

Coral Gables Gallery Night is a long running tradition started by Virginia Miller of ArtSpace Galleries and supported by the Coral Gables Fine Art Gallery Association. Starting at 7pm, free limosine busses take art lovers from gallery to gallery throughout the pedestrian district.

Here's a map of the pedestrian district art galleries. As you can see, there are dozens of art galleries to visit, all with two blocks of the free trolley and the Coral Gables Fine Art Association limosine busses.

Each week, the Great Gables Events list offers many suggestions for attending art-related events in Coral Gables. If you'd like to stay informed, subscribing is free.

Do you have favorite art gallery? Have you been to the newest galleries? Do you prefer fine art, pop art, sculpture or other artisan works?
