Join us for an exciting evening of art and culture as we celebrate the talents of local artists and the vibrant downtown community! Our downtown art walk will take you on a tour of some of the most creative and unique businesses in the area, each showcasing the work of talented artists.
Stroll from shop to shop, gallery to gallery, and soak up the atmosphere of our beautiful downtown neighborhood. Meet the artists behind the artwork and learn about their creative process, inspiration, and techniques. Whether you're an avid art collector, a curious visitor, or simply looking for a fun night out, this event has something for everyone.
From paintings and illustrations to photography and music, there will be a diverse range of styles and mediums to enjoy. You'll also have the opportunity to purchase artwork directly from the artists, so you can take a piece of the evening home with you.
This will occur every third Friday of the month.
