Interactive project will get you thinking about the future at First Friday

The future is now.

At least at January’s First Friday, where visitors will “Step into the Future” via an interactive project focusing on wishes for 2017.

The themed activity calls for guests to stamp footprints onto a canvas (using shoes provided by First Friday) and write their wishes for the new year.

Jasmine Farro also will help guests paint — by numbers — while January’s featured artist, Lake Paints, will create a spray-painted piece on the Coolidge Avenue side of the Mission Linen Building.

On the musical side, Friday’s entertainment lineup includes main-stage performers DeBlanc Music (6-7:30 p.m.), Joey Micelli & Jazzy (8-8:45 p.m.), TEEJ (9-9:45 p.m.) and Mackenzie from 10:15 to 10:45 p.m., along with the monthly Drum Circle.
