Help us welcome the community as each new exhibition opens.
Second Street Gallery's First Friday Opening Receptions are among our most anticipated public events of the year, bringing together artists, collectors, members, supporters, and first-time visitors to celebrate the opening of each new exhibition. These evenings provide opportunities to meet exhibiting artists, experience new contemporary artwork, and connect with others who share a passion for the arts.
Your sponsorship helps offset the costs of hosting one opening reception, including refreshments, an ABC license, event materials, marketing, and other hospitality expenses that allow us to provide a welcoming experience for our community.
