First Fridays Art Walk — Broad Street

Client: Richmond Arts District Location: Richmond, VA Date: January — August 2025

Monthly art walk activation on Broad Street featuring outdoor DJ sets, live painters, and interactive sound installations. Funkshway provided mobile sound reinforcement that could move between three locations throughout the evening.

The challenge: consistent audio quality across outdoor spaces with unpredictable ambient noise (traffic, crowds, restaurant patios). Our solution used directional speaker arrays that focused sound precisely where needed, minimizing bleed into adjacent businesses.

Over eight months, the First Fridays series became a signature Richmond cultural event, drawing 3,000+ attendees per installment.
