We noticed that a lot of places in Ashland do something cool for First Friday. So, sure, we'll be followers this time.

We're calling it First Friday Flights! Or maybe we're calling it the Empanada Throwdown!

Either way, it's a music, food, and wine event that you should definitely join! Here's the deal:

Freshly made local empanadas from Caba Empanadas
Lovely fall wines from Resistance Wine Co (that's us!)

You could pretty much hang out all day if you want. But if you just want to pop in for a few empanadas/pours, you could have plenty of time left to visit all the other galleries.

Also, we have some art so you don't just have to look at that weird friend you invited... But, still, bring your friends.

$20.00 Wine tastings + whatever an empanada cost in 2025.

Book One of the Ghostly Ashland Shakespeare Mysteries
The First Thing We Do…

When the deadliest line in Shakespeare is spoken… the curtain rises on murder.
Retired investigator William Mills was hoping for a peaceful retirement in
Ashland, Oregon—a quirky, charming theater town with a haunted past. But when
the OSF attorney is found murdered in the Bowmer Theater, William is drawn into
an intriguing four-hundred-year-old Shakespearean mystery as multi-layered as the
Bard himself.

With the help of sharp-witted realtor Carol Lindsey and Dante, a ghostly cat with a
flair for drama, William uncovers long-buried secrets, nefarious plots, and an over
one-hundred-year-old missing person mystery.

Set against the backdrop of a quirky and charming theater town with a haunted
past, The First Thing We Do… is the perfect blend of cozy mystery, delicious meals,
supernatural intrigue, and theatrical flair.

Perfect for fans of paranormal cozy mysteries, paranormal culinary
mysteries, and small-town intrigue, The First Thing We Do… is Book One in
the Ghostly Ashland Shakespeare Mystery series, where every act hides a
secret, and every ghost has a story.

Life Line will be on-site to provide various screenings for early detection of stroke and cardiovascular risks. All screenings are by appointment only.

July Exhibition at ART ON FIRST: Inner Landscape Paintings - Martina Goldberg

Monday, June 30 - Monday, July 28, 11:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Opening Reception: Friday, July 4, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured at ART on FIRST are inner landscape paintings by Martina Goldberg. Working mainly with acrylics, Martina captures visual aspects of landscapes in Mexico combined with a Northern European spirit, taking her expression beyond the limits of her viewers’ eyes. Using just a few visual elements and a limited palette, Martina’s paintings are often dramatically contrasted but also subtly blended, which is her way of interpreting the essence and mood of her compositions, always aiming to evoke in her viewers an inner landscape. She wants her viewers to feel the landscapes, not just see them.
