ArtWalk is an art extravaganza that transforms our historic Boylan Heights neighborhood into a technicolor outdoor market, featuring talented local artists eager to showcase their unique creations. Discover a diverse array of artistic expressions -from glasswork to jewelry, metalwork, woodwork, fiber art, ceramics, photography, multimedia creations, paintings, and more. Artists set up on porches, lawns, and studios, creating a unique and festive atmosphere. All participants are selected through a jury-style process to ensure a high-quality and diverse showcase of artwork.

Come kick off your holiday shopping and support local artists in Historic Boylan Heights Neighborhood on December 8th from 12-5pm!
