Prescott News – On Friday, April 25th, Prescott’s beloved 4th Friday Art Walk invites art lovers to explore 16 downtown galleries, each featuring a diverse collection of work from both local and nationally recognized artists. These galleries will stay open late, offering special exhibits, artist receptions, and engaging events.
Nestled in the cool, forested mountains of Arizona, Prescott has long been a source of inspiration for artists. The Art Walk is an opportunity to connect with these creators, learn about their artistic journeys, and experience Prescott’s thriving creative community. With historic buildings framing the event, visitors can enjoy a rich blend of art and history in the heart of downtown.
Since its inception in 2004, the 4th Friday Art Walk has become a cherished tradition for Prescott’s visual arts scene. The event begins at 5 p.m. each month, with participating galleries welcoming guests to explore and engage with the artwork. Gallery guides are available at participating locations, hotel brochure stands, and the Prescott Chamber of Commerce.
