Art walks are more often about people watching and shenanigans and less about the actual art. We’re here to guide you through both. Presenting our very own Field Guide — an evolving guide to art walks around town.
From time to time, we’ll introduce some of our favorite spots and dish out some insider information. If you have any tips or tricks, share ’em in the comments section.
More First Friday hints and details after the jump …
(A Few) on the Map
– Turn on the Shower and Run @ First StudioNew work and “collected weirdness” by Casebeer and Randall Wilson, to the tune of live music by Joe Myers.
Pieces large and small (and we hear a camera crew) will be at First Studio, 631 N. First Ave., from 7 to 10 p.m.. More info here.
– Dr. Grigsby at Regular GalleryJust a month or so after Dr. Eugene Grigsby Jr.’s 93rd birthday, the African-American artist and educator will hang his latest work at Downtown’s Regular Gallery.
Grigsby’s known for his artwork and involvement in the community as well as his dedication to arts education in local schools; he taught and served as art department chairman at Phoenix Union High School and was a professor in the School of Art at ASU for more than 20 years.
A collection of his work, as well as copies of his latest print, which he created for the opening, will be on view during December’s First Friday at Regular Gallery, 918 North Sixth Street, from 6 to 9 p.m.. More info here.

On-street parking is limited along Roosevelt Street between First and Seventh streets (Note: meters downtown are still checked until 8 p.m.). Or if you can nab a spot, check out the free street parking on Grand Avenue …
