Every first Friday of the month, the public is invited to attend a day at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, filled with all sorts of interactive art events and activities. There’s something for everyone, including kids. The line-up includes tours, art exhibits, classes, live music, talks, events, hands-on activities, food and drink, and lots of surprises along the way. Many of the activities and tours are free (see below). See current exhibits. The current exhibit at the gallery (through June 4) is Menagerie: Animals on View.
