Murphy Art Walk

05/05/2024

Murphy Art Walk is an artist-run event that occurs the first Friday of every month from May-December. Produced by Valley River Arts Guild at the Murphy Art Center, it’s now in its 14th year, says Debra Vanderlaan, president of the arts guild. Attendees can enjoy works from artists, crafters, and musicians as they, “showcase their arts and crafts, perform dance and theater, and play music on the Square,” she adds. The outdoor venue typically hosts more than 60 artisans plying their trade, with kids’ crafts tables set up, and much to offer in the local shops, pubs, and galleries just yards away.  » Downtown Murphy; first Fridays, 5 p.m.-8 p.m.; free; (214) 315-6852; www.valleyriverarts.com
