Gallery Walk Celebrates 36 Years in Hot Springs

Gallery Walk Celebrates 36 Years in Hot Springs
The Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance is proud to highlight the 36th Anniversary of Gallery Walk, an iconic celebration of art, culture, and community in Downtown Hot Springs. This special anniversary event will take place on Friday, August 1, 2025, starting at 5 PM.
For the past 36 years, local gallery owners have dedicated themselves to creating a dynamic art scene in Hot Springs, opening their doors every first Friday of the month for the community to enjoy. This month’s celebration promises to be especially memorable, as it will feature not only the beautiful artwork that has made this event a monthly tradition but also the addition of live music performances throughout the evening. A diverse range of music will resonate throughout the galleries, infusing the evening with energy and enhancing the vibrant atmosphere, making this anniversary celebration even more special.
As always, galleries will showcase works from both established and emerging artists, offering an eclectic mix of paintings, sculptures, photography, and more. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artists, engage with their work, and enjoy the rich cultural landscape that Hot Springs has to offer.
And with the summer heat in full swing, August Gallery Walk offers the perfect way to enjoy the evening—cooling off in the galleries while experiencing the vibrant art scene.
"We’re excited to introduce this new musical element to Gallery Walk this month," said Whit Bishop, Executive Director of the Hot Springs Area Cultural Alliance. "Pairing art with a variety of live music creates an immersive experience that celebrates both the visual and musical arts. It’s a special way to commemorate 36 years of Gallery Walk and make this anniversary even more memorable for everyone."
Gallery Walk is free and open to the public, making it the perfect opportunity to explore the Downtown Hot Springs galleries, enjoy the music, and immerse yourself in the creative energy of the area. Whether you’re a seasoned art enthusiast or new to the event, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Join us on Friday, August 1, 2025, to celebrate 36 years of artistic expression, community, and creativity. This milestone anniversary promises to be one for the books, filled with art, music, and lasting memories.
