Bandmates traded punches before playing Sweatshop Gallery on Friday. The blood only added to the start of a good night of Benson First Friday, captured here.

Join us at a rowdy concert with Austin's Lechuguillas tonight at Sweatshop Gallery in Omaha. Cymbals might be broken, as the band's drummer says here, and punches might be thrown.

Mechanical bullriding, Día de los Muertos facepaint, photos, paintings and a special occasion for it all. This is November's Benson First Friday in photos and interviews with artists.

Benson First Friday's artwalk was a bit slower than usual for a cadre of the living dead this past Friday. Click on through for photos of the events of October's iteration of the monthly event. Don't get bitten.

Somewhere under all that mud, Benson First Friday took place for the fourth month in a row. Come on in for photos, but make sure you're protected from the mud-slinging. We warned you.

Benson celebrated its July edition of First Friday — just the second so far — with a kissing booth, a catwalk, music and more.

Benson's first, First Friday enjoyed 18 openings, three window displays, eight different street performances, three after-dark street projections and three late-night performances. Dig in.
