Gallery Walk • Friday, October 3 • 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.
