Atlantic Avenue ArtWalk is a self-guided tour of open artist studios and area exhibitions, a range of public art projects, special events, and extensive local merchant participation. The tour provides a relaxed setting for dialogue, collecting, and for artists to discuss current bodies of work, while offering a glimpse into the creation process.

ArtWalk was designed to build awareness of the depth of historic Atlantic Avenue’s cultural corridor by revealing its vibrancy and diversity, and develop a greater sense of community. The tour affords visitors new to Brooklyn and the locals alike the opportunity to meet their neighbors in the creative community, when artists and workshops around Atlantic Avenue open their doors to the public. Additionally, area organizations and businesses will host local artists’ work and receptions, and many restaurants and bars will offer special rates to ArtWalkers throughout the weekend.

In 2007, over 200 artists, artist collectives, galleries, and organizations participated. The tour has featured a wide diversity of media throughout ArtWalk shows & open studios including painting, sculpture, watercolor, photography, digital media, murals, textiles, and more. ArtWalk features include sculpture, film, work displayed in outdoor public settings, performance, and more.
