What to Expect

Downtown Murphy really comes to life during the Art Walk! The streets will be filled with visitors, locals, and live music from some of the area’s best bands. Every month, the galleries feature new pieces from talented local artists. In many cases, the artists are on hand to meet with guests, answer questions, and give demonstrations. If you’re looking to grow your art collection, this is a fantastic chance to make a purchase! In addition to the galleries, other businesses downtown will be providing special entertainment and serving refreshments. The purpose of the festival is to give visitors the chance to experience the fullness of the arts, but on a neighborhood level. This means that you don’t have to visit some fancy art museum to check out the work of talented artists.
