A group of artists and community activists has announced the second monthly arts happening it is calling “Final Friday” to promote the interaction of artists and community members.

Final Friday will take place at Java Junction, 705 Franklin, near the corner of Myrtle and Franklin, downtown Clearwater, from 5-8 pm. The public is invited. Happy hour prices will prevail.
