Artwalk is BACK this Saturday June 13th!

This is the first Artwalk since the initial COVID-19 shutdown, and they are taking extra safety precautions to provide a safe environment for everyone. Please take note of the safety guidelines below before you head to Artwalk this weekend:

• West Vermilion St in front of AcA will be closed 4pm-9pm to accommodate extra space for “social distancing” while still keeping the ArtWalk experience alive.

• Please be respectful of others and follow safe guidelines when visiting ArtWalk participating businesses. Wash your hands frequently, wear a mask that covers your face and nose, maintain a safe distance, and stay home if you are not feeling well!

• AcA policy requires masks for all patrons inside the building for the entirety of their visit during June’s ArtWalk.

Here are details from the press release about all of the wonderful things to enjoy while you’re there!
