Tips & Advice

  • Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, because you'll walk the neighborhood streets outdoors from one porch and lawn to the next.
  • Keep the rain date of Sunday, December 13 in mind, because ArtWalk moves to that day if it rains.
  • Look through the artist listings by medium before you go so you can find the potters, painters or jewelers you most want to see.
  • Shop for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts here, since every piece is original work by a juried artist and nothing is mass-produced.
