Gallery Walk- Where Art & Community Intersect

For going on 30 years, Gallery walk has been a staple of the Brattleboro community. Monthly events embodying Brattleboro to a T: art in the galleries and in the streets, creative food, pop-up musicians, friends & neighbors gathering downtown to catch up and celebrate. Revamped in 2020 with a significant expansion in programming, the new iteration has got it all.

From 5-9pm you can expect a huge block party with street closure of Elliot Street and Harmony Parking lot featuring an outdoor stage with live music, a food truck food court, 80 ft of community table featuring white table cloths and locals blooms courtesy of the Brattleboro Garden Club. 18 galleries will boast new exhibit openings, many with the artists present to speak with guests. Interactive art stations pop-up all over Downtown with a diverse array of activities and exhibits- for example you’ll see artists live painting on easels along Main Street. A point of considerable pride is that these events are free and are meant to truly have something for everyone. Art, in all it’s forms, brings people together like no other and that’s what Gallery Walk is all about.
