First Friday May 2016

First Friday, May 6 , 6-9pm.   Narberth’s First Friday in May is always special because the Borough celebrates the launch of NarbART month, showcasing local artists in our downtown storefronts.    On May 6, Narberth’s First Friday will also mark the official public launch of the Inside Out art exhibit, from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This installation brings reproduction of eleven pieces of art, from inside the museum, outside to the streets of Narberth. 

From 6 to 9pm will be an especially festive First Friday, where locals stroll the downtown to see the art, and enjoy open houses in the shops, an art “scavenger hunt”, crafts for the kids, dinner and drink specials in the restaurants, and live music on the sidewalks.  

Inside Out Launch Ceremony - 7pm

Help us welcome representatives from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as we officially launch our Inside Out Art Exhibit.  Join us at Station Circle at 7pm for some wine and cheese.

Art "Scavenger" Hunt

People of all ages are invited to search for art all over town.  There are eleven pieces of Inside Out Art from the museum, and six of them are within a block of station circle.  In addition, there are more than twenty storefronts with art and displays with the NarbART "night" theme. We also have permanent art in our downtown; see if you can find three wall mosaics on Narberth Ave.
​
Ten randomly selected hunters will win NarBucks gift certificates, good for many of your favorite Narberth shops and restaurants.  Find as much art as you can, but there's no minimum amount required to enter the contest.  Just circle the spots where you find art, and bring your completed card, with name and email, back to Sweet Mabel. Open to all ages, adults and kids.
