Join or Renew your First Friday Venue Membership
• First Friday Venues are the vital core of Rochester’s Citywide Gallery Night.
• Venues are encouraged to participate in most First Fridays per year, staying open for at least 3 hours, 6-9pm (5-9pm or 6-10pm, etc. is ok).
• First Friday events are limited to the visual and performing arts.
• Venues contribute a $100 participation fee per year which helps offset some of the admin and website costs. Thank you for doing your part to help keep First Friday sustainable to benefit the entire community!

Promote Your “This Month Only” Event at a Temporary Location
• This Month Only events must be open at least 3 hours on the First Friday of the month.
• This Month Only participation is $25 per event listing.

*Holidays*
First Friday occasionally lands on or near a national or religious holiday. Some participating venues may decide not to open on these dates. In order to avoid future confusion, First Friday Citywide Gallery Night doesn’t shift to another day or week (i.e.. First Thursday or Second Friday).
