First Friday downtown Warsaw is returning for the first downtown event of the season and it will have an interactive art theme to it.
It is 5 to 9 p.m. May 7, and sponsored by the Dr. Dane and Mary Louise Miller Foundation, city of Warsaw and Warsaw Community Development Corporation.
According to information provided by Paula Bowman, First Friday coordinator, “I’m sure that all of you are excited to be getting out and about after last year’s safety precautions, so we are inviting all those talented artists in the community to show you and teach you what they have been working on during the shutdown. This year, we are doing a few different things to showcase the talent in our community.”
Many of the local artisans will be on hand for this make-it-and-take-it event. For a nominal fee, spectators can learn how to fold origami; make your mom a Mother’s Day card, a personal spin art picture, a sign for your house, a pet rock; check out the STEM bus and Red Bird Studio art and more.
