14th Avenue Gallery Stroll

Every month on the first Friday from 5:00pm to 8:00pm on 14th Avenue in Downtown Vero Beaech is a free event called First Friday Gallery Stroll. Most store fronts and all the galleries are open to the public for this engaging, free festive event. Restaurants and pubs are open for refreshment. We are please to feature three gallery businesses which are members of the Cultural Council of Indian River County.

This project is a collaborative effort between these member galleries, partially funded by County Tourism Commission, the Cultural Council, Perceived Media and an anonymous donor. Through these videos, Indian River County art community is promoted across the nation and internationally.

Come along! Join us for a wonderfully entertaining, creative evening.
