Preview Thursdays – Held the evening before First Fridays, also from 6-10pm,  all the Arts District area galleries participate. This night is low key, without the street festivities and less foot traffic in the studios and galleries which fill to capacity on Fridays. This is a good night to come out and browse for the true art aficionado.

Third Thursdays – Just like Preview Thursdays, but (obviously) on the third Thursday of every month. This is your chance to catch anything you may have missed at that months First Friday before the galleries hang their new shows for the next month.
