The Art Walk is an annual event held in mid-September hosted by the Stonington Borough Merchants Association. The one-day event features the best of Southeastern Connecticut’s and Southern Rhode Island’s art scene, the Borough’s shops, cultural assets, restaurants, and area activities. The event is free to the public and attracts visitors from across New England and beyond.
The event has quickly become known as a mecca for great local art and art-loving patrons. A well-curated assortment of over 60 artists across 10 genres, including painters, illustrators, textile artists, sculptors, potters, makers, and photographers, line Water Street and fill charming courtyards with tents and tables.
Our entire community plays an important part in the annual Art Walk. Merchants, businesses, and non-profits are all encouraged to participate and they do - hosting hunts, exhibits, tours, tastings, pop-ups, and even theatrical performances!
