McGuffey Art Center

North Downtown

First Fridays at McGuffey mean two things: fresh gallery exhibits to wander, and Big Blue Door's improv crew making stuff up on the spot. Browse new art with a glass of wine in hand, then head upstairs at 7pm for comedy that could go anywhere. Ten bucks, zero pretension, and a room full of locals who actually talk to strangers.
