New exhibits rolling into art galleries

Ogden’s First Friday Art Stroll is on April 1, but galleries aren’t pulling April Fools’ Day pranks — they’re offering serious exhibits.

The stroll starts at 6 p.m., and continues until 9 p.m., in downtown Ogden. The stroll is an opportunity to see new exhibits after galleries’ usual hours. Many shops hosts receptions and the chance to meet the artists. 

Most of the participating galleries are along Historic 25th Street, from Wall Avenue to Jefferson Avenue, making it possible to walk from shop to shop. There are a few more are on surrounding streets. Admission is free.
