This Second Friday Art Night we will have three artists selling their creations: Ark Angel Arts (artist Michaela Adams), Marcus Lewis, and Krystal Bijoux Jewelry (artist Krystal Cornelius)! PLUS DJ PoeBot will perform!!!
Join us each month for 2nd Friday Art Night (2FAN), a downtown Little Rock after-hours art event that happens on the second Friday of each month from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Events are hosted at several locations in downtown Little Rock by various organizations.
In January 2024, CALS began hosting its monthly 2FAN event at the CALS Rock It! Lab at 120 River Market Ave. Each month, attendees will be greeted by a local artist selling their work and/or providing art demonstrations, a DJ or performer playing music, and light refreshments and libations.
The event is free to attend and free parking in the CALS surface lot and parking deck (both accessible from Rock Street).
Stop by each second Friday to chat with local artists, shop locally from Arkansas makers, take in some music, and sip wine with friends.
Part of 2nd Friday Art Night - Come knit and sip with us! Bring your WIP and hang out for an evening of social knitting. Don't know how to knit? We'll teach you. Supplies provided.
