It was another lively time in downtown Phoenix during the monthly First Friday event on Feb. 2. On both Grand Avenue and Roosevelt Row, galleries flung open their doors so the public could see the latest shows. People crowded Roosevelt Street and the surrounding roads to check out vendors, listen to music, people-watch and patronize local food trucks.
Here are some pictures of the evening.
