About the Event

A participatory,
artist-led event

The 6th Annual Art Walk is a free, outdoor, volunteer-run event bringing together 40+ local artists and makers for a full day of exhibitions, live demonstrations, and interactive creative experiences open and accessible to all.

Art Walk is more than a traditional art market. It’s a community experience that emphasizes process, experimentation, and connection. Artists engage directly with visitors through hands on activities, demonstrations, and installations encouraging dialogue, learning, and co creation.

Sales of original work, prints, and products are welcome, but the heart of Art Walk is participation, engagement, and community.

Why Apply?
Share your creative practice in a supportive, high visibility public setting
Connect with the community, fellow artists, and new audiences
Showcase your process through demonstrations or interactive experiences
Build visibility, peer connections, and opportunities for creative exploration
Sell your work to new collectors
Be part of an inclusive, welcoming event that prioritizes engagement over purely commercial outcomes
