Art Walk
Art Walk is an after-dark celebration of creativity, community, and culture - transforming city streets into vibrant, open-air galleries.
Across multiple nights, audiences are invited to explore a curated trail of local art, live music, street performance, food, and interactive installations. With exhibitions spanning multiple venues, alleyways, and unexpected corners of the urban landscape, Art Walk offers a fresh way to connect with the creative pulse of a place, and the people in it.
Each Art Walk reflects the unique stories, talent, and street energy of its host city or town. Venues are partnered with local artists and transform their space (laundromat, barbershop, adult toy shop, cafe, bottle shop etc) into an art gallery. Attendees then follow a map to visit the participating venues and discover plenty of delights along the way.
​
The best part of this event is that it is scalable to almost any budget; we work closely with the community to highlight their strengths and identity and no event is the same as another because each location comes with it's own personality that must be celebrated.
​
Art Walk can be a standalone event, or delivered as part of a festival ie. Adelaide Fringe, SALA, History Festival etc. The opportunities are endless and it starts with a good ol' brainstorm.

A Note From Me
​Art Walk began as an idea sparked by my love for art, music, and good wine - and a deep appreciation for how creativity can transform a street. I’d seen Art Walks in places like LA and thought, “Why not here?”
Each one has been a little different - shaped by the place, the people, and the artists involved. In each place, I work with small businesses and local makers to bring suburban creativity to the forefront.
​
If you’d love to see an Art Walk light up your neighbourhood
- let’s work together and make it happen.​
