The Downtown Art Walk happens tonight….pick up some holiday gifts. This art walk happens every 2nd Thursday of every month. It started on a grass roots level, only to evolve into a full blown art/night life extravaganza. https://www.downtownartwalk.org/
Here are some or my favorites….The first one is a bit off the beaten path, but should be wonderful…You may want to park in this area, as the parking tends to be cheaper and start and finish here, cause the galleries on this side of town tend to stay open later. Be sure to check the Art Walk website.
