Art Walk FAQ

When is the event?
This event takes place from 5-9pm on the first Friday of each month – a list of dates is below. Hours vary by location, be sure to check the map for details!

Is it free?
The Art Walk is FREE to attend, with drink and food specials at restaurants and bars like Snake Hill, Sally O’s, Mystic Burrito, and Filippo’s Restaurant (and more!). The Art Walk is self-guided–be sure to check the map for venue details.

It’s my first time attending, where should I start?
You can start at any participating venue and create your own route. We suggest first-time visitors start at either Creative Alliance (3134 Eastern Ave) or Highlandtown Gallery (248 S. Conkling St), which is near several venues and has free street parking, too.

How do I get there and where do I park?
Free street-parking is available throughout the neighborhood. Metered parking is available on Eastern Ave and Conkling Street (and is free after 6pm). City buses #21, #22, Navy, Blue bring you to the district.

Where should I eat?
There are many restaurants including carry-out, fast-casual and sit-down. We recommend you decide where to eat early in the night, as popular spots like Mystic Burrito, Matthew’s Pizza, Snake Hill and Sally O’s get crowded. (Please note, Sally O’s takes reservations).

Is there a bathroom at the event?
Bathrooms are available at most venues and restaurants. Just ask at the venue and they’ll direct you to the nearest facility.

I’m an artist, performer or vendor! How do I participate?!
Artists, performers and vendors can join our “Art Walk Vendor List” by completing this online form. We share this with our venues and they’ll reach out if interested.
