First Friday November 6, 2026

✨ FIRST FRIDAY at SANTA CRUZ ART EXPRESSIONS! ✨ Friday, November 6 | 5–9 PM 🎄 The holiday season is almost here, and what better gift than original art? Join us for another magical First Friday at Santa Cruz Art Expressions in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz! Step inside a world of color, creativity, music, and inspiration as we celebrate our extraordinary community of local artists. Whether you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind Christmas gift, a beautiful new piece for your home, or simply an inspiring evening surrounded by art, there’s something wonderful waiting to be discovered. 🎨 Visit the private studio of in-house artist Kelli C. Foss, whose vibrant abstract paintings explore color, movement, energy, and emotion. Discover beautiful works throughout the gallery by Mellissa Ayer, Ray Evans, and other talented artists. 🎁 Start your Christmas shopping early! Give something truly meaningful this year—an original work of art that will be treasured long after the holidays are over. When you purchase local art, you’re giving twice: supporting a working artist while bringing something beautiful into someone’s life. 🎶 Enjoy our live DJ, light refreshments, wonderful conversation, and the creative energy that makes First Friday such a special Santa Cruz tradition. Come meet the artists, explore the gallery, bring your friends, and make an evening of it! ✨ Give art. Give inspiration. Shop local. ✨ 📍 Santa Cruz Art Expressions 1545-A Pacific Avenue, Downtown Santa Cruz 🗓 Friday, November 6, 2026 ⏰ 5–9 PM Free admission • Everyone welcome!
