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. 2010-2011
