First Fridays in Fredericksburg: An Evening at Brush Strokes Gallery

On First Friday in downtown Fredericksburg, an evening out can start with a painting that catches your eye and end with a conversation with the person who made it. Each month, galleries across downtown welcome visitors for new exhibits and opening receptions. Take a walk down Caroline Street, see what’s on display, and make Brush Strokes Gallery one of your stops.

What happens at Brush Strokes Gallery on First Friday?

First Friday is when we celebrate the opening of our monthly exhibit. Our gallery was founded by local artists, and you’ll see their different styles and interests as you make your way around the room. A colorful painting might draw you in first, then a charcoal drawing, a piece of art glass, or a pair of handcrafted earrings might make you stop for a closer look. With exhibits changing monthly, there’s always a reason to come back.

One of our favorite parts of opening night is talking with visitors about the work. If a piece catches your eye, ask what inspired it or how it was made. Bring a friend and see which pieces each of you gravitates toward. You’re welcome to take your time, find something to bring home, or simply enjoy an evening surrounded by local art.

Come see us on Caroline Street

Join us for our First Friday reception from 5 to 9 p.m. at 824 Caroline Street in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia. We’re a short walk down the hall from the Caroline Street entrance. You can also visit Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. during our regular gallery hours.

Make us a stop on your next First Friday stroll. We’d love to show you what’s new on the walls. Explore Brush Strokes Gallery
