Downtown Redmond Art Walk Returns to Downtown Park
REDMOND, WA - For the second year in a row, the City of Redmond will host the Downtown Redmond Art Walk (DRAW). This celebration of creativity and beauty brings together Redmond’s local artists and businesses for an evening of art, starting at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 19, in the Downtown corridor. This free opportunity encourages community members to support local artists, merchants, and vibrant arts organizations.
Participating businesses will feature local talent through exhibitions, poetry readings, live music, and more. Downtown Park will be activated by the City’s Cultural Arts Program from 4 – 7 p.m. with art installations, performances, and live mural painting.
“I’m excited for the return of the Downtown Redmond Art Walk and the opportunity for our residents and visitors to support Downtown businesses and local artists,” said Mayor Angela Birney. “We're thrilled to build on the successes of last year’s event and to continue celebrating our diverse and growing arts community.”
In addition to the art in Downtown Park, the City will provide a map for self-guided tours of the participating businesses that will showcase artists that evening. This one-night experience is made possible thanks to a generous Arts Sustained Support grant from 4Culture.
