Uptown Greenwood

First Friday - Uptown Greenwood

In 2007 Uptown Greenwood partnered with the Greenwood Arts Council, the Greenwood Visitors and Tourism Bureau, The Museum and the Greenwood Community Theatre to create an event aimed at introducing a wider audience to the unique vitality of the artists and venues of Greenwood. First Friday In Uptown promotes interest in the arts by making it accessible, thereby strengthening the arts community in Greenwood.  We invite artists, musicians, groups, galleries and businesses to be a part of this cultural event.  On the first Friday evening of every month the streets fill with art lovers of all kinds who wander among participating Uptown venues, enjoying art and people watching, eating at Uptown Greenwood’s restaurants and just plain mingling.  Most of the activities are free and take place between 6 and 9 p.m.
