Next ArtWalk
Saturday, April 12, 2008
The 2008 ArtWalk dates are: January 19, March 1, April 12, May 24, July 5, August 23, October 11 & November 29.
|
For over 19 years the Galveston Arts Center has produced ArtWalk on Saturday nights in the heart of the historic district. Now spreading to other parts of the island, ArtWalk occurs approximately every six weeks. Not a street festival, ArtWalk takes place in existing commercial galleries, non-profit arts spaces and what are called "other walls," restaurants and retail stores, for example. Each exhibits art and welcomes viewers with open doors, later hours and refreshments. One of the Galveston Arts Center's largest programs, ArtWalk, promotes visual art and artists, offers alternative places to see and learn about art and hopes to bring newcomers, as well as welcome return visitors to the art community on the island.

Each portrait in oil has a different personality—speaking to the viewer and making the strongest statement possible with the chosen subject and medium.
