Celebrate Pride at the June First Friday Art Walk in La Jolla
The La Jolla First Friday Art Walk returns on June 3, bringing community members, art galleries, and businesses together to celebrate the idea of Pride.
Every first Friday of the month, the La Jolla community puts together an amazing opportunity to sip, snack, and stroll through some of the finest art galleries in San Diego’s jewel.
There’s a new theme each month. Because June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, the theme for this month’s First Friday Art Walk is “pride” — and businesses across La Jolla will celebrate that theme with their own interpretations.
From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., you’ll be able to stroll through some of the must-see spots for art lovers in La Jolla. Additionally, you’ll be able to enjoy light refreshments, free entertainment, and other amenities.
Some of the top-notch galleries participating in this month’s First Friday Art Walk will include:
- Art in Framing
- BFree Studio
- Contemporary Fine Arts Gallery
