#76: Holiday Art Walk

There has been quite the flurry of activity downtown this weekend.  It's nice to see people out and about.  Here's yet another event on happening: today is the annual Holiday Art Walk, during which art galleries open their doors to sell works by local artists.  It's a great opportunity to pick up a unique and quality gift for whoever's on your shopping list.

The following galleries are part of this walk: 

• Artpost
• Blue Gallery
• CircaArts Gallery
• Colfax Campus Gallery
• Fire Arts, Inc.
• Junk Evolution / Carpenter Gothic
• Max Black Fine Art
• Monroe St. Studios
• Piser Designs
• South Bend Museum of Art

In addition to the works on sale in the galleries, there is also a wreath raffle being held today.  Each place has a wreath made by Paul Kuharic (from the farmer's market!) that the store's featured artist decorated.  For a donation of any amount, you are entered into the raffle to win the wreath.  The best part?  Proceeds go to La Casa De Amistad.

If you didn't get out and around for First Fridays, come out today for the last bit of the Art Walk.  It's a nice chance for people whose workweek schedules don't always match the limited gallery hours.

When: 11 am - 5 pm
Where: Downtown South Bend.
