First Fridays in Hubbard Woods were begun in October, 2016, by Vivid Art Gallery, an HWDD member. Intrigued by the gallery’s success in attracting the local community to a Friday night event, HWDD saw an opportunity to turn it into something bigger. According to Cynthia Burr, board member of HWDD and owner of Vivid Art Gallery, “First Friday’s have become a real event for the community. It’s an easy after-work or pre-dinner destination where friends can meet, mingle and shop.”
The Hubbard Woods Design District is an association of businesses located in the three-block retail area on the north end of Winnetka along Green Bay Road between Tower Road and Scott Avenue, commonly referred to as “Hubbard Woods.” Its designation as a “Design District” reflects the heavy concentration of art, fashion and design-focused establishments in the area.
