After a short hiatus, Summit First Thursday is returning on May 7, 2026—and this year it’s expanding to all-day events across Summit. On the first Thursday of each month, local galleries, shops, restaurants, and cultural spaces host special experiences that make it easy (and fun) to explore the creative side of Summit. You might stop in to meet a local artist, see a new exhibition, enjoy a free activity, or sample a complimentary bite or drink while discovering a business you’ve never visited before. The Art Center will feature: Midday Gardening Tour with Artist-in-Residence Gabriella D’Italia 12–2 PM Join artist-in-residence Gabriella D’Italia for a midday stroll through our green space, where you’ll learn about local plants and gardening tips.
