February 2, the Lubbock art community will unite for the First Friday Art Trail, a celebration and exhibition of local arts that takes place on the first Friday of every month.
According to their Web site, http://ffat.org, there are 20 participating galleries, studios and restaurants this month, spanning from downtown Lubbock to 82nd Street.
The downtown locations offer a trolley system to take enthusiasts to different exhibits on the trail. The festival is free and open to the public.
As well as opening all three of their galleriescc free of charge, the Buddy Holly Center offers enjoyments for patrons to enjoy in addition to the art.
Wendy Foster, special events and marketing coordinator for the Buddy Holly Center, said the gallery likes to provide a unique experience for their guests.
"We provide refreshments, appetizers and a cash bar," she said. "We also book live music to play, promoting both music and fine art in the community of Lubbock."
Nine miles down the road from the Buddy Holly Center is the Charles Addams Gallery, the southern-most location on the trail.
The festival will take place this Friday from 6-9 p.m., and is free to the public. For additional information, including a map of the galleries, visit the First Friday Art Trail website: http://www.ffat.org.
