Multiple locations including SUMAS, artspace, the Lofts at 624, the Marlene Yu Museum, Tipitina’s and others will be hosting artists, exhibits, live museum and hands-on activities for all ages. Maps of the route will be available at each location; start anywhere you would like and make your way from there. All on-street parking is free after 5 pm, and the surface lots in front of First United Methodist Church are free and open to all.

The Downtown Artwalk is FREE to attend and open to all ages (except for 21+ venues, of course!). Maps will be provided at each stop and on our Facebook event page (coming soon).

Walk, bike, drive or roll through the route. You’ll be greeted by artists, musicians, and more as you stroll the street during artwalk

Remember that you can start at any location, walk in any direction, even circle back a few times. Be daring and make your own rules!
