FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COME AND FEEL THE LOVE AT THE PASEO FIRST FRIDAY!

Oklahoma City, OK (January 18, 2019) – As Oklahoma’s first arts district, the Paseo Arts District’s
First Friday Gallery Walk for February is Friday, February 1, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The Paseo Art Space (3022 Paseo) will feature the annual Paseo Arts Association Members’ Show,
which will exhibit the diverse art works created by 46 of their talented and supportive members. Join us
for the opening reception of the Members’ Show on First Friday! Juror BJ White will announce award
recipients at 7pm. White is a painter and printmaker who graduated from the University of Oklahoma
with a Master of Fine Arts. A nationally collected artist, her biography is included in Who’s Who in
American Art, a biographical directory of noteworthy individuals in the visual arts community in the
United States, and her work has been the subject of articles in numerous periodicals and reproduced in
distinguishable books. The exhibit will be on display in the Paseo Art Space from February 1 to
February 23.

The street cuisine offering for February is Yum Pig, a quirky trailer serving up porky dishes that you are
sure to dig! You must try their criminally delicious “Original,” which is topped with their world-famous
barbeque sauce. Once you pig out on this pork of perfection, you will become a major fan!

Named by Forbes as one of America’s most transformed neighborhoods, the Paseo is a vibrant, self-
sustaining arts district, which was the first of its kind in Oklahoma City. As the catalyst for this
neighborhood’s revitalization, The Paseo Arts Association established the monthly First Friday Gallery
Walk, where galleries offer special exhibitions, refreshments, guest artists and a variety of live
entertainment to the public. First Fridays are one of several ways The Paseo helps to bring the arts closer
to the lives of its community members.
