Street closures announced for Lubbock's First Friday Art Trail

The November First Friday Art Trail, a free, self-guided public art tour, is scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Friday in downtown Lubbock.

The trail features a variety of art centers, museums, galleries and businesses with an ever-changing array of exhibits in all media.

This month, due to increased pedestrian traffic on Avenue K and Mac Davis Lane during First Friday Art Trail, sections of each street will be closed to increase safety for pedestrians.

Beginning in November, on the first Friday of every month, Ave K between Mac Davis and 9th Street and Mac Davis between Ave K and Ave J will be closed to traffic from 5 to 9:30 p.m.

This family-friendly event is held rain or shine at various venues throughout Lubbock’s Cultural Art District.

Free trolleys will be available at five locations to escort trailgoers throughout the trail between 6:15 pm and 9:15 pm. Many of the trolley stops are adjacent to other trail venues, so that trailgoers can park, ride and stroll to the different venues. The trolleys stop at LHUCA/Charles Adams Gallery, McDougal Building/formerly the Wells Fargo Building, Buddy Holly Center, GlasseyAlley Art Studio & Gallery and the Caviel Museum of African-American History.

This month's events will take place in-person across 20+ venues, featuring hundreds of artists, performances and interactive events. Trail goers can download a map at ffat.org or find it on LHUCA’s social media to explore the trail at their own pace.
