March’s First Friday is on the move. Literally.
Themed “March for Art,” Friday’s Arts District event introduces parkour — where participants flip and jump from (and over) obstacles to travel from one point to another — with demonstrations from members of the World Freerunning Parkour Federation.

First Friday’s featured artist, Tanya Michelle, also will be on the move, painting a mural on the Coolidge Avenue wall of the old Mission Building during the event, which runs from 5 to 11 p.m. Michelle owns Galerie Miscre8 in downtown’s Juhl Promenade.
And the Arts Factory’s Wonderland Gallery expands, adding a second gallery — near the north entrance — to its existing location. (The new space previously housed, among other galleries, Trifecta Gallery.)
The Kids Zone returns to First Friday with interactive family fun.
Also on the First Friday schedule:
■ Live music on the main stage from Las Vegas Academy students, Deblanc Music and Rising Stars young artists
■ Emerging and established artists, arts, crafts and interactive painting
■ Artist booths in the main festival area, plus Arts Factory and Art Square galleries
■ The Dance DepARTment, with a variety of music and dance choices on Coolidge Avenue between First and Main streets
■ Community Productions’ Drum Circle
■ More than 30 food trucks and artisan food vendors

A window on the world of creating glass
You've probably seen the work of Las Vegas-based glass and metal artists Barbara and Larry Domsky at, among other places, McCarran Airport's Terminal 3, UNLV and Wynn Las Vegas.
Now you can see how they create that work during a three-day open house at their Highland Drive studio.
Larry Domsky will demonstrate the process of transforming molten glass into art from 6 to 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at Domsky Glass DG Gallery, 2758 S. Highland Drive.
Also on display: "Tempest" by artist KD Matheson and jewelry by Jason Fabbi.
