ArtWalk

ArtWalk, the Center-coordinated monthly celebration of visual and performing arts in Abilene's downtown cultural district involves more than 100 businesses and organizations annually. Each month, 800-1400 individuals from a broad cross-section of the community enjoy free offerings of art and entertainment at this family-friendly event.

ArtWalk promotes cultural tourism and offers performance opportunities for community groups and area orchestra and band students. Mainstay ArtWalk themes include: Dog Days of Summer flooding downtown Abilene with animal lovers and their companions, and Military Salute, involving Dyess Air Force Base, the 12th Armored Division Memorial Museum, and other local armed forces affiliates. New additions to the schedule include CarWalk, which drew a record attendance of more than 2,500 in 2006 and Chalk it Up! which gave professional, amateur and students artists a chance to leave their marks on Abilene's sidewalks.
