artwalkCheck out the website - click here - for details of events happening on the first Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of each month and come on Downtown to support the efforts of your local businesses.

Please also make time to visit and support our vendors in the park and at various other locations Downtown, all of whom are selling items of their own creation. Even if these items are not to your taste, they are art, they are the artists' own work, and they are deserving of your polite perusal, if not purchase.

Be sure to hop on the RTA "ArtWalk Express" and visit The Art Museum of Texas, The Science and History Museum, and the Museum of Asian Cultures, all of which offer free entry to ArtWalkers on ArtWalk night.

La Retama Park is the focal point of ArtWalk. This is where you can obtain free information and maps. It is also where the tram and RTA Express connect and where the prize draw takes place.
