First Friday and COVID-19

Watermark Art Center is the community coordinator for Bemidji’s First Friday Artwalk, but the Artwalk belongs to all of us.

Watermark is currently open to the public. Read more about what to expect when you visit us →.

Beginning November 1, 2021 we will gladly list other First Friday participants on this page. However, as we, Watermark, can not control any COVID-19 protective measures enacted by other First Friday participants and their visitors, we’ve made the decision to postpone any collective promotion until further notice. We will re-visit our decision when there is an update to the Executive Order 20-81 (Minnesota).

Please send your First Friday event descriptions to Lisa Seter lseter@watermarkartcenter.org | 218-444-7570

Located in downtown Bemidji, the Watermark neighborhood is full of attractions and entertainment opportunities, all within easy walking distance!

While you are walking around, check out the Bemidji Sculpture Walk murals and the kiosk project.

Other things to do while you are downtown include taking in a play at the Paul Bunyan Playhouse, discovering what’s up at the Headwaters School of Music and the Arts, learning our local history at the Beltrami County History Center, and finding fun for the whole family at the Headwaters Science Center.
