THE EIGHTH ANNUAL ARTWALK WEEKEND WILL BE HELD SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JUNE 4 - 5, 2011
ABOUT ARTWALK
Join us the weekend of June 4th and 5th for the eighth annual Atlantic Avenue ArtWalk. ArtWalk is a self-guided tour of open artist studios and area exhibitions, a range of public art projects, special events, with local merchants hosting a range of artwork and events. ArtWalk provides a relaxed setting for dialogue, collecting, and for artists to discuss current bodies of work, while offering viewers a glimpse into the creation process.
ArtWalk includes artists across all media, participatory events, film, public art, live music, and activities for families and children of all ages. Visitors can enjoy exhibits, view and buy work, meet the artists and sample the Avenue's restaurants, shops, and bars at their own pace. To add to the weekend festivities, local businesses host receptions while area restaurants and bars offer special rates to ArtWalkers throughout the weekend.
Area cultural institutions make the Atlantic Avenue corridor an arts destination year round. We are pleased to announce partnerships and programming with many area art and performance spaces. Visit our Cultural Partners page for more. ArtWalk events are free and open to the public.
