Every second Friday of the month, Burchfield Penney invites the community to attend a fee event that includes a wide range of shows and activities, including pop-ups, live music, workshops, film screenings, tours, and performances. The galleries are open until 8pm and are FREE all day. These themed events vary from month to month, as do other interactive Burchfield Penney events that take place, including a series of Still Life Workshops (two days in March).
