Downtown Springdale Kicks Off Its Season of Programming with the Spring ART WALK on April 25-27
The community can expect a vibrant blend of art, music, culture, wine and a few surprises.
Springdale, AR – Downtown Springdale is hosting its Spring ART WALK on April 25-27. This year the community can expect immersive art experiences, guided tours of the ART WALK and incredible art from regional and local artists for purchase. Downtown galleries, museums, makers’ spaces and businesses will host the artists and open their doors for all kinds of experiences and entertainment. Many of the ART WALK stops are within the Outdoor Dining District making it easy for event goers to enjoy food and drink while they take in the art.
“This is our fourth ART WALK season, and we are blown away by the caliber of artists featured in this Spring’s ART WALK,” says Jill Dabbs, Executive Director of the Downtown Springdale Alliance. “We have more than 20 businesses hosting artists, and we have some incredible featured artists, including Mad Alchemy, Rumwolf, Sarah Turner and the Snake Channeler who will perform throughout downtown. And we’re bringing back the Art Wine Crawl which was a huge hit last year. This one is not to be missed!”
