菲尼克斯罗斯福街区"第一周五"艺术之夜回归 试点计划让摊贩重返街区
10 月 2 日晚，菲尼克斯市中心罗斯福街区（Roosevelt Row）一年一度的"第一周五"（First Fridays）艺术之夜活动重启，并首次试行一项新的摊贩试点计划。这是该活动在去年春季暂停街头摊贩市集之后，首次以全新模式回归。
罗斯福街区社区发展公司董事辛迪·达赫（Cindy Dach）表示，新模式旨在让活动回到几十年前创办时的样子——以艺术本身为核心。今后活动不再封路设置流动摊位，展览与表演主要回到沿街建筑与私人场地内部；商家可申请许可，自行邀请摊贩在自家场地经营。菲尼克斯市副市长艾伦·斯蒂芬森（Alan Stephenson）指出，过去活动规模膨胀带来人群管控与治安隐患，甚至发生过枪击事件，市议会于上月通过了这项试点，力求在安全与活力之间取得平衡。
"第一周五"是菲尼克斯历史最久的艺术步行活动之一，每月第一个周五举行，是当地艺术家与小商家展示作品的重要平台。主办方希望，新模式能让本土艺术与餐饮重新成为主角。

First Fridays Return to Phoenix's Roosevelt Row Under New Vendor Pilot
Phoenix's First Fridays art walk returned to Roosevelt Row on October 2 under a new pilot program that brings vendors back to the downtown arts district for the first time since street vending was halted last spring.
Under the model approved by the City Council last month, there will be no street closures or pop-up street markets. Instead, galleries and businesses host art and vendors on their own property, with business owners applying for permits to host vendors themselves. Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation board member Cindy Dach said the redesign aims to return the decades-old event to its roots, with the artist experience front and center; Deputy City Manager Alan Stephenson noted the event's growth had created crowd-control and safety problems, including shootings.
First Fridays, held on the first Friday of each month, is one of the longest-running art walks in Phoenix and a key showcase for local artists and small businesses.
