[image id="9174" title="Corpus Christi Friday Artwalk" class="size-medium wp-image-14767 alignright" width="300" height="245" ]The new 2013-2014 season of First Friday Artwalk is under way! Mark your calendars for Friday, Sept. 6 for the next great Artwalk. Action begins at 5:30 p.m. in downtown Corpus Christi.

Think of the First Friday ArtWalk as an exploration into the personality of Corpus Christi. The festive ambiance and community spirit spans 23 blocks downtown with more than 100 venues.

Be a 1st Friday ArtWalk – er

As an ArtWalker, you will find local artists selling everything from embellished accessories to paintings to T-shirts. You'll also find fun activities for the kids along the way, including face painting and jewelry making.

Free transportation makes "walking" the ArtWalk a little easier. Hop aboard the Hobo Express, complete with live "honkadelic" entertainment from the local band, HOBO.

The ArtWalk happens on the Friday of every first weekend of the month, which means it may occasionally be on the last day of the previous month. The only time that happens in 2013, however, is in June, when the ArtWalk is held on May 31.

Admission is free to all ArtWalks, which are held from 5:30 to 9 p.m. The fun isn't over then either. Restaurants and bars in downtown Corpus Christi regularly plan extra activities for First Fridays. Check the website for updates.
