Maple Valley ArtWalk Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Maple Valley ArtWalk?
ArtWalk is a partnership between the Maple Valley Creative Arts Council, the City of Maple Valley, and Windermere Real Estate/Maple Valley. The first art walk took place in November 2014 with the idea of developing new venues for local artists to exhibit and sell artwork and to allow local businesses to support the local arts community.
When does ArtWalk happen?
Opening kick-off events are the Wednesday at the beginning of the two-month run. We have a fall and a spring ArtWalk. The artwork will be displayed for two months. Kick-off events begin at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall with live music and introductions of the artists. We then move to the Maple Valley Creative Arts Center to enjoy the second venue with more live music.
