t’s Downtown Gallery Walk on Saturday, April 13 from 1-3pm hosted by Piedmont Council for the Arts]

Whether you've always felt a little intimidated by art, have been curious to look at local art with a guide, or are just looking for an excuse to get a first (or second) look at some the exhibits on display this month, consider this your invitation!

Take a relaxing walk with us and explore a variety of art galleries on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. We'll gather at CitySpace to receive maps and meet one another before setting off for a guided tour, featuring the opportunity to look at exhibits and take part in Q&As with gallery owners and exhibiting artists along the way. The pace will be leisurely, but we'll visit a variety of local arts landmarks during our trek, including Warm Springs Gallery, Second Street Gallery, and others. The tour will culminate at the McGuffey Art Center, where we'll meet some of the member artists and learn about the current exhibits and structure of the space.

It's free to participate and anyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. To find out more, please email Sarah Lawson at sarah@charlottesvillearts.org.
