New music pop-ups start this month with DJ Bryson Dearden spinning funk, soul and house music from 6-8 p.m. in front of The Corner shop, the small white kiosk on the corner of 25th Street and Washington Boulevard. Ogden’s First Friday Art Stroll, hosted by Ogden City Arts every month, supports arts organizations and independent artists to promote access to the arts for the entire Ogden community.
