FSU Museum of Fine Arts

http://www.mofa.fsu.edu/
Just because it's small and unassuming doesn't mean it's boring. The exhibits that pass through this gallery are varied in both size and quality, but are always constant in one thing: They're interesting. From student work to famous work, MoFA is always worth a visit. Check the website or the calendar of events for the exhibit openings, when you can get free food and usually free wine, as well as meet the artists.

Tucked away among the suburban housing along Thomasville Road is a small but meticulously landscaped city park complete with a boardwalk overlooking a lake, a water feature surrounded by benches and a gazebo. It's a great place to walk, draw, read or do homework!

First Friday

On the first Friday of every month, from 6-10pm, there's an explosion of culture at Railroad Square, when most of the galleries are open late and cheap wine abounds. Live music, belly dancing and community art are just some of the things you will encounter at the First Friday Gallery Hop. Lots of fun, especially with a group of friends.

Railroad Square

First Friday Destinations

Railroad Square

http://www.railroadsquare.com/

Filled with art galleries and eclectic stores, this block of old and abused warehouses has been converted into a miniature cultural center. Don't let the physical size fool you - there are untold treasures in the depths of Railroad Square, like Tallahassee Rock Gym, Krank It Up and the Renaissance Cafe. It's a pretty quiet place during the day, but the first Friday of every month finds the one street filled with locals.

For a very basic map of the square and directions to it, check out the website.

621 Gallery

http://www.621gallery.com/

Located in Railroad Square this is one of the better known art galleries outside of the university. It's small but often displays student work and hosts some interesting shows. You can find a full schedule on their website.

FSU College of Music

http://music.fsu.edu/pr/performance-dates.htm

Music students perform at recitals. Recitals are free. They may be students and prone to mistakes, but it's still free classical music.

The FSU College of Music calendar lists all recitals as well as full performances of the University Symphony Orchestra and other ensembles, such as jazz and winds – most (if not all) of which are free for FSU students and cheap for the general public.
