Midlands Gives 2026- Support the Artists

First Thursday on Main's mission is to create a monthly evening-out experience for our community that showcases our downtown area’s already rich and growing arts community, while working to increase awareness of and patronage to Columbia’s thriving Main Street District. 

First Thursday on Main is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by volunteers. 

In the growing and thriving art scene that now strengthens the creative culture of a bustling downtown Columbia, First Thursday on Main supports and highlights local artists, musicians, and local Main Street businesses

Donations to First Thursday supports opportunities for local artists at our monthly events.
