Gallery Walk • Monthly, First Friday• 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.

For more than 36 years, local gallery owners in Hot Springs have nurtured a vibrant arts community by opening their doors on the first Friday of every month.

Each Gallery Walk showcases new exhibitions from both established and emerging artists, featuring an eclectic mix of paintings, sculpture, photography, and more. Visitors are invited to meet the artists, explore their work, and experience the rich cultural landscape that defines Hot Springs.

Since its founding in 1989, this monthly tradition has brought fresh energy to Hot Springs’ scenic and historic downtown. From contemporary to traditional, Gallery Walk offers something for every taste, making the city the place to be on the first Friday of each month.

Friday, April 3, 2026 Gallery Walk

Spring has officially arrived, and April is opening with one of Hot Springs’ favorite traditions. Join us for the Gallery Walk on Friday, April 3, from 5 PM to 9 PM, when local galleries, studios, and creative spaces welcome residents and visitors to explore downtown at their own pace. Held on the first Friday of every month, Gallery Walk remains a simple and meaningful way to experience the city’s arts scene, meet working artists, and spend an evening surrounded by creativity.

This month, Gallery Walk will carry a seasonal touch inspired by the Arkansas Cherry Blossom Festival, happening the very next day in Hot Springs. Several participating locations will be decorated with cherry blossom décor, and guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy sake tastings hosted by Origami Sake at select stops. It is a fun nod to spring and a lovely way to connect this month’s arts evening with a broader cultural celebration happening in our city.

Gallery Walk is free and open to the public. For the most current details and participating locations, follow the April Gallery Walk Facebook Event Page.
