Rhythm & Hues | April First Fridays
Friday, April 3, 5 – 9 p.m.
The Maple City, renowned as a dynamic, growing center for emerging local musicians and artists, may not have the blues—but Goshen sure has the rhythm, and we’ve definitely got the hues!
A Self-Guided Tour
Tour dynamic and inviting art displays, take the opportunity to meet and chat with top artists from the area, and walk away with a special piece to call your own!
Locations in green indicate there will be live music throughout the evening.
Don’t forget to grab a passport at your first stop! Collect 10 points on your Rhythm and Hues Passport throughout the evening to be entered to win a Downtown Goshen prize pack. Each location has a certain number of allotted points. No purchase necessary.
Our events operate with the love and help of many volunteers and sponsors. Join us!
