Several years ago, the art galleries in Fredericksburg Texas joined together to host a monthly art event ... Fredericksburg's First Friday Art Walk. During this event, many participating local art galleries keep their doors open late for this self-guided walking tour. Visitors can browse through a variety of displayed artworks created by represented artists.
The Hill Country's original 100% online e-commerce art gallery, Western Galleries, established in 2005, is pleased to announce FIRST FRIDAY ART ONLINE.
WHAT IS IT?
A new concept for the Texas Hill Country art scene, this is a revolving online exhibit featuring new original artworks created by represented Texas artists working in various styles, mediums, and sizes.
LAUNCHING SEPT 2023
This curated exhibit will launch on the First Friday of Sept 2023 at WesternGalleries.com
Art admirers, from around the world actually, can browse visual creativity from the comfort of home on any viewing device.
It tarted with an idea ... a handicapped family member (and art collector), who couldn't always walk through all of the galleries and art events, wanted to 'stay on top' of new art releases. This online idea began to grow, and is designed to be a helpful option for those who cannot always visit Fredericksburg but wish to stay connected with new art for sale.
And it's not just "western" art. Although called Western Galleries, they also offer a variety of styles and subject matter - and they are expanding during the recent economic downturn.

ABOUT THIS ICONIC BUILDING
Vereins-Kirche, downtown Fredericksburg Tx.
Visiting Fredericksburg?
Be sure to check out The Vereins-Kirche (Society Church), the most recognized building in historic downtown Fredericksburg! It was the first building built by Fredericksburg's German immigrants in 1847, and is located at the Marketplatz town square.
Designed by Dr. Schubert of the Adelsverein, it was built following an ancient German style known as the Carolingian Octagon, exemplified by the original portion of the cathedral of Charlemagne at Aachen. In the 1800’s, all of the local religious groups in Fredericksburg used the building on Main Street, and it was often called the Kaffeemühle (coffee mill) for its octagonal shape.
