Artwalk is BACK this Saturday June 13th!
This is the first Artwalk since the initial COVID-19 shutdown, and they are taking extra safety precautions to provide a safe environment for everyone. Please take note of the safety guidelines below before you head to Artwalk this weekend:
- West Vermilion St in front of AcA will be closed 4pm-9pm to accommodate extra space for “social distancing” while still keeping the ArtWalk experience alive.
- Please be respectful of others and follow safe guidelines when visiting ArtWalk participating businesses. Wash your hands frequently, wear a mask that covers your face and nose, maintain a safe distance, and stay home if you are not feeling well!
- AcA policy requires masks for all patrons inside the building for the entirety of their visit during June’s ArtWalk.
