What is an Art Walk?

There's no start point and no end point, but on October 20th our neighborhood galleries (which normally close at 6pm) are open until 10pm celebrating lower Polk's thriving arts community.

The Lower Polk Art Walk opens the following 9 galleries to the public: Shooting Gallery, White Walls, Nine Four One, Gallery 1044, The Popular Workshop, Space Gallery, LOPO Gallery, Alliance Francaise, and the Larkin St Youth Gallery.

AND. AAAAANNND......

This Art Walk opens Fern Alley to our very first "Artists in the Alley" Outdoor Night Gallery... Fern Alley will be transformed into an outdoor night gallery open to all independent artists who register with us before October 20th. Come to the Art Walk and display your best work! The alley will also feature video projected works, live art by Chad Hasegawa and APEX, as well as something fun for the kids.

Gotta love art.
