What Is The Art Walk Exactly?

An opportunity to celebrate all things art and local community, the Art Walk Kingston is 'one of the largest open studio tours in the Hudson Valley.'

Three areas across the City of Kingston set the stage for a range of art and events that showcase everything from paintings to photographs, drawings and sculptures, as well as activities for participants to take part in. Attendees will be able to experience and support the creative arts and the local community in home studios and galleries across the two day event.

A list of participating artists can be found here, and provides an overview and snapshot of just how creative our Hudson Valley community members are. Along with artist introductions, the bios include information about the different artistic endeavors of those participating, and where they showcase their work.
