Art Walk is a self-guided public event produced by the Center for Arts and Learning. Its published hours are 4–8 p.m.; our Society gathering begins at 4:30 p.m. The evening’s participating venues and any individual activity requirements are set by the organizers and venues.

Come on your own, leave early, or miss this one without explanation. There are no formal introductions and no examination on the art. Drinking alcohol is optional.

If you arrive after we have left Red Hen, you are welcome to enjoy Art Walk at your own pace. We cannot promise a fixed location once the walk begins. Consult the organizer’s guide and updates before setting out, including individual venue access.

This is not a support group and not a dating group. It is a club for parents who would like some friends.
