The Spring Gallery Walk will be the first gallery walk of 2023 on Friday, March 3rd from 5:00 – 8:00pm. This FREE event is open to everyone to enjoy a self-guided tour of shops, galleries, and other locations that have curated featured artists and pieces of art.

Visit 7 of the venues during the Gallery Walk for a chance to win a $50 gift card to one of the participating shops! In order to qualify, participants will have their Gallery Walk postcard or map stamped at each location visited. Simply present the mailer card for a “punch” at the Gallery Walk locations.
