The always-fun Downtown Shreveport Artwalk returns on Wednesday, September 6 from 5-8 pm and this month the stroll (or air-conditioned ride) takes us from The Noble Savage Shreveport to perennial favorites Dripp Donuts, The Standard 509, Bailey Gallery, Remington Suites Hotel & Spa, the Spring Street Museum, and Stray Cat, which will be opening “Reflections,” a new exhibit by artist E.D. Stewart.
The exhibit at Stray Cat.
At each stop you will find pop-up artists, cool things to purchase, tours, food, beverage, and music, with a side of history and sketching, too. Artwalk is free to attend and family-friendly. The self-guided walk (or ride) means you can spend as much time as you want at one location before moving to the next.
If you are worried about walking in the heat, never fear. We will have free air-conditioned Centenary College and iShuttle buses running the route. Thanks to Centenary College for partnering with Artwalk!
Here are the locations to stop, shop, and art it up! There is no ‘order’ of stops to the Artwalk, so feel free to start where you would like and go from there. On street parking is free after 5 pm.
