First Friday Art Walk
A street-level gallery tour every first Friday, 5–8pm.
We’re a state-certified cultural district and a nonprofit on one block of a northern Colorado city, doing one job: making sure artists, makers, and creative businesses have somewhere real to work, teach, sell, and be seen.
A street-level gallery tour every first Friday, 5–8pm.
Painting, ceramics, printmaking — taught by local educators.
A citywide spotlight on student artwork every March.
Wheel, hand-building, glazing — open studio for members.
Networking for working artists — craft beer included.
Three December weekends of holiday happenings downtown.
702 13th Street is our flagship: gallery, studios, gift shop, and a working classroom for the community.
Drawing, acrylic, watercolor, pottery, printmaking — one-off workshops and full series for every level.
24/7 studio access, discounted classes, a wall in the gallery — the difference between hobby and practice.
Murals, installations, calls for artists, and grant pipelines that put local work where everyone can see it.
I’d been working out of a garage for five years. Walking into the GCAC for the first time was the first time my work felt like a practice instead of a hobby.
The district actually listens. I pitched a kids’ throwing class in October; I was teaching it in December. Nothing moves that fast anywhere else in town.
First Friday is the one night a month I know I’ll sell a piece. More than that — I know someone’ll tell me why they like it.
