First Friday for August includes grand openings, tastings, something for the pets, and art galore.
First Friday officially goes from 5-8 p.m. on the first Friday of each month in downtown Lockhart.

The Lockhart Post-Gallery presents Read the Room, a solo exhibition of work by artist Chad Rea. Rea is a Lockhart local and is deeply invested in the local art community. He is the owner of the LockhART House, the LockhART Bus, the publisher of the LockhART Guide, and the host of Happy to be Here, a radio show on Lockhart’s 107.9 FM KLKT.
Rea’s artwork expresses the messy, ironic beauty of human experience. It combines social commentary with personal truths, inviting viewers into a space of presence and perspective that transcends right and wrong, emphasizing our similarities rather than our differences. Pulling from his background in advertising, he often uses text and advertising techniques to inspire positive change and speak to human truths.
An opening reception/meet the artist will be held on Friday, Aug. 2, from 5-8 p.m. The exhibition will be open to the public until Aug. 30.
Spellerberg Projects will have a reception for DIY Dungeon, and a photography exhibition by Mauro Antonio Barreto, from 6-9 p.m.

There will be an After Party for the Commerce Gallery at Mill Scale Metal Works from 7-9 p.m.
