Downtown Shreveport’s streets come alive for Artwalk, an event that showcases our local artists, businesses, and community spirit. For this special edition of Block by Block, we’re diving into some of the Artwalk Stops on Texas Street.
Artspace
Located at 708 Texas Street, Artspace has been a strong hub of Shreveport’s art scene since 2005. Designed as a space for all kinds of art—from traditional paintings to experimental multimedia installations—Artspace brings together artists and art lovers under one roof. This month’s Artwalk features pop-up artists showcasing their works throughout the space. And for a sweet treat, don’t miss the lively cookie competition, where local bakers showcase their most imaginative—and delicious—cookie creations. It’s an experience that’s equal parts visual feast and dessert delight!
Lofts @ 624
Lofts @ 624 on Texas Street has been transformed into a mixed-use building with modern lofts and retail spaces. The Artwalk will fill the hall with handmade goods, and unique art. This beautiful location will essentially be a mini-marketplace, with one-of-a-kind jewelry, pottery, and gifts that showcase the talent of regional artists.
Rhino Coffee
At 624 Texas Street, Rhino Coffee has quickly become a downtown staple. Known for its artisan coffee and relaxed vibe, Rhino is a gathering spot for locals, artists, and remote workers alike. During Artwalk, the shop hosts an Artwalk Happy Hour, featuring local art displays and a special menu of drinks..
Robinson Film Center / Abby Singer’s
The Robinson Film Center at 617 Texas Street is more than just a movie theater; it’s a cultural landmark. Opened in 2008, the center screens independent, documentary, and foreign films, and its upstairs bistro, Abby Singer’s, is great spot for dining and events. This Artwalk stop will host \our vendors upstairs paired with the bistro offering happy hour specials on crowd favorites like chicken and beignets. It’s an essential stop for film and art lovers alike, offering a cozy atmosphere to enjoy a meal and support local artists.
Uneeda
The Uneeda Biscuit Lofts at 509 Market Street has seen many lives, from its days as a bakery to its current role as a creative space with artist lofts. This Artwalk marks Uneeda’s one-year anniversary, and it’s celebrating in style with live music from 7-8 pm, art displays, and light refreshments. The historic building adds an extra layer of charm to Artwalk, providing a unique setting to connect with local artists and enjoy the warm ambiance of a truly iconic Shreveport spot.
