The first weekend of the month belongs to the fine arts in this town. Here's what's doing this Friday and Saturday, March 2-3:

1) The Art District on Santa Fe gets things started with its First Friday Art Walk, which includes numerous galleries and a couple of museums, too.

2) The RiNo Art District also has First Friday events happening on March 2.

3) The Denver Art Museum's Free First Saturday on March 3 is open to all Colorado residents with proof of residency. Tickets are needed.

4) The Museo de las Américas has Family Free Days (sponsored by Target) on the first Saturday of the month. From 12 to 4 pm, there are free interactive workshops for children and teens, plus free tours and santos demonstrations. Also note that the Museo participates in the Santa Fe Arts District Art Walk, offering free admission to all on the first Friday evening of each month.

5) For just a penny, you can get in to the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver on the first Saturday of the month. This will be your last chance to catch internationally renowned artist Erwin Redl's site-specific installation, as the exhibit closes on March 11.
