1. What is an Art Walk?

An Art Walk takes place in a city or town with a high density of artist studios, exhibition spaces and related venues presenting anywhere from several dozen to hundreds of artists who present and sell their work. The public is invited to stroll from space to space, meet artists, see plenty of art and purchase art.

Each artist may offer anywhere from several dozen to hundreds of works of art, priced from perhaps five or ten dollars on up into the hundreds and sometimes even higher.

The event map for Art Walk Stoughton lists host locations and juried artists to help guide you if you’re looking for a particular kind of art.
