2025 Art Gallery Walk
Local artists and artisans will join nationally-known artists in The Art Gallery Walk, with tents displaying original works on canvas, handcrafted jewelry, mixed media, leatherwork, dolls, digital art, sculptures, and ceramics. This year, as you stroll along the street you will be inspired by the artistry exhibited, and you will marvel at the variety of outstanding work on display.
We encourage you to meet the artists, learn about their techniques, and purchase an original creation to enjoy for years to come. The gallery at right shows just some of our past Art Gallery Walk artists and their work.
Are you an artist or artisan whose work should be seen by the thousands of people who attend the African American Cultural Festival?
The deadline for Art Gallery Walk applications has passed.
