Art Walk 2019 kicks off on Friday, August 23rd and runs through Sunday, September 8th
Ridgefield Guild of Artists presents it’s sixth annual Art Walk, when the streets of Ridgefield once again come alive with strolling art galleries. Art Walk 2019 kicks off on Friday, August 23rd and runs through Sunday, September 8th. Fifty-six artists from Ridgefield and surrounding towns in Westchester and Fairfield counties participate presenting paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture and much, much more in downtown storefronts and inside stores around Ridgefield.
Art Walk 2019 includes forty-two local merchants along Main Street and downtown side streets, plus The Marketplace at Copps Hill Common. Opening night is August 23rd from 5-8pm where artists will be at the stores for opening receptions. Saturday, August 24th, is Artist Day, with many of the participating artists filling the sidewalks showing their wares and demonstrating their craft.
Pam Stoddart, Executive Director of Ridgefield Guild of Artists and Chair of Art Walk 2019, invites everyone to Art Walk: “It’s our end of summer celebration! Come out and revel in this time of year with our local artists!” All artwork is for sale. Proceeds from sales go back to Guild of Artists, a 501c3 non-profit organization, to help with general expenses and future programming.

Maps, including participating artists and stores are also available at each venue. Art Walk continues after the opening weekend festivities through Sunday, September 8th.
