Cornerstone Architects joins First Friday’s Artwalk, the first economic development program for artists in the Commonwealth.

First Fridays Artwalk - Richmond’s premier night out for the best art of the city! Eleven diverse arts facilities, located along the Historic Broad Street Corridor, participate in the Art Walk showing knockout exhibitions. All events are free and open to the public.

Cornerstone Architects opens its ‘Cornerstone Gallery’ doors the first Friday monthly, exhibiting a different local artist’s talents each month. This is a wonderful venue to create awareness and appreciation of arts and culture in Virginia.

Cornerstone Architects wants to promote the local visual-arts by linking artist to the area and helping them connect to other economic opportunities.

Style Weekly, a Richmond weekly cultural paper, recognized First Fridays as ‘The Most Exciting Thing to Happen in the Arts Community’. Over 31,000 people attended First Fridays in 2002-03. Already, the 2003-04 season has kicked off to a tremendous start with record crowds.

Over a year ago, Cornerstone Architects decided to become apart of the Historic Broad Street Corridor when it took on the adaptive reuse and historic renovation of a 92-year-old building. Clearly, Downtown has again become a magnet for economic development.

Participating in First Fridays Artwalk is one way Cornerstone Architects can help enhance the vitality of the Richmond community.
