YOU ARE INVITED!

Each month, the Argenta Downtown Council hosts an event called “3rd Friday Art Walk” with the purpose of highlighting local artists, showcasing the Argenta Arts District, and celebrating creativity.

The galleries throughout Argenta are open, and local artists are featured from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Innovation Hub is lucky to have the opportunity to participate in this monthly event where we welcome an average of 150 guests.

We encourage the community to join our family-friendly activities, shop from local makers, visit our gallery, and chat with our featured artist! All monthly art walk events are completely free and open to the public.

2023 ART WALK DATES

Each month, we’re thrilled to extend an exciting opportunity to local makers at our 3rd Friday Art Walk events. We invite talented vendors to apply and showcase their handmade items. It’s important to note that vendors are responsible for handling their own payment transactions, collecting sales tax throughout the event, filling out the sales tax form, and submitting it at the end of the event.

What’s even more enticing is that we do not take any sales commission, making it a truly artist-friendly platform. The best part? Applying is absolutely free. To secure a spot, be sure to mark your calendars as our application forms will open on the following Monday after each Art Walk event. Remember, we have limited spaces available, so it’s first come, first served! Join us in celebrating local artistry and creativity.
