Second Saturday Artwalk is Back!

Just in Time for Holiday Shopping

ArtWalk has returned with renewed energy, life and most of all great artwork just in time for Holiday Shopping! The studios and galleries of the Central Arts District, EDGE District, Grand Central District, Warehouse Arts District and downtown Waterfront Arts District will welcome visitors on Saturday, November 14th at various times throughout the day.

COVID guidelines will be in place at each individual venue. The ArtWalk trolleys will NOT be running this month due to not having enough space for social distancing. If you do visit an ArtWalk venue this week or on Saturday, be prepared to follow THEIR guidelines for entry into their establishment. Please note that each venue has different Saturday hours. Many of the locations are available by appointment only throughout the week if you have some specific Holiday shopping you want to do.

Please click on the button below for an update for this Second Saturday Artwalk (Nov 14th), who will be open in person, virtually, and by appointment only. There is also a description of the locations you can shop on-line for your Holiday Shopping needs.

Now is the time to support our Artists and Creative Businesses! Join us in returning out Second Saturday Art Walk to do what we can to support and nurture this industry. ArtWalk participants will also take your call or answer your email for any more information about the art that catches your eye. (Mark Aeling Large Sculpture from MGA Sculpture Left).
