First Friday art walk kicks off tonight, Downtown and in the Old Mill and Northwest Crossing.  The art galleries (and some other places) stay open late and often offer up free wine and refreshments and live music to go along with the art on display.

Festivities run from 5 until 9pm; the Downtown Bend website, as usual, has a more detailed list of participating businesses. Prepare for a chilly evening, too—the 50s and upper 40s are on the hourly forecast right now.
