[ July 25, 2024 ] ArtWalk Jasper is back for another exciting season of visual art and music on Main Street, with the first event on July 26 from 6-9 p.m. This is the rescheduled date from May, which was postponed due to inclement weather.

"Fortunately, most artists and musicians were able to join us from the rescheduled date," said ArtWalk Jasper Director Angela Reinhardt. "We had to shift a few things around but for the most part the show is what was scheduled in May, which is fantastic."

Stroll downtown and enjoy the sights and sounds, which includes 25 juried artists, the joyful rhythm of live Brazilian music from Buteco House Samba on the Pickens Courthouse lawn, artist vendors, and other exciting happenings.

July will also feature installation art, a community paint-by-number banner, and a Rising Stars student section in Dog Tired Antiques that will feature winners of PACA's Youth Art Month show, and other surprises.

Enjoy food from Brazilian food truck Get Skewers, Mayors Hotdogs and Lemonade, a classic ice cream truck, and special ArtWalk margaritas from Dos Margaritas.

Concept of Creatures acoustic duo will perform on South Main Street near Keep Pickens Beautiful, and Chris Farmer will perform at the Old Jail.

Colorful maps of the event will be available during the event at the Pickens Arts & Cultural Alliance booth near the courthouse, on the ArtWalk Jasper Facebook page and Pickens Arts & Cultural Alliance's website.

ArtWalk Jasper is sponsored and organized by Pickens Arts & Cultural Alliance, with support from Jasper's Downtown Development Authority, the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce, and other sponsors.
