October’s First Friday features three group shows, a site-specific installation, and a scavenger hunt. As the number of venues grow and the diversity of art forms expands, you’ll need to get an early start to take in all the sights and sounds. Here’s a guide to help you complete the Nyack Art Collective‘s unique cultural circuit.
