Bothwell Arts Center presents: 12th Annual ArtWalk Livermore
Saturday, October 12, 11:00am-5:00pm, Livermore
ArtWalk is a different sort of festival, as the streets are kept open and displays are set-up throughout the downtown in and around parks, sidewalks, galleries, wine bars, restaurants and shops. This allows visitors and the local community to experience all that this wine country downtown has to offer with art as the theme for the day. There is a lot of free parking, and because the roads are not closed, you can easily gain access to the event.
Explore the works of over 150 artists ranging from contemporary to classical, abstract to realism, pottery to mixed media, with subject matter from floral to figurative and much more.
Visitors can view up close the hand-painted art banners that will be hung as street art in September, bid on them at the Art Banner Auction and enjoy a glass of fine local wine from our wine, beer and beverage bar at the Livermore Valley Plaza.
Also at the Plaza, select Bay Area musicians will perform free concerts all day, with cafe-style seating available. The lineup and background on these fine musicians will be available on www.valleysingout.com in September.
In addition, independent music events produced by Panama Red Coffee, Artistic Edge and the Disabled Vets Painting Group are peppered throughout the downtown area.
Special art destination offerings will include a woodcarving exhibition at Blacksmith Square, exhibitions at Figurehead Art Gallery and the Bankhead Theater, open studios at Firehouse Art Studios, Bothwell's Downtown Art Studios and more.
Maps for the event will be available online in late September.
Our 2012 website galleries will be updated by mid-September, but you can still view last year's art at www.artwalklivermore.org.
