Those who attended the First Friday Art Walk on Sept. 6 enjoyed live music, original local art and a solid community vibe.

Free and open to the public, First Friday Art Walks showcase local galleries and unique small businesses, as well as live music and events all along the Avenue Creative Circuit from Downtown Colorado Springs through Old Colorado City into Manitou Springs. The next Art Walk is on Oct. 4, starting at 5 p.m. More info at VisitCOS.com/blog/art-walks.
