Art Walk

On the first Friday of every month, several South Walton art galleries host a First Friday Art Walk. On this night, galleries stay open late (usually until 8:00 PM). This is your opportunity to see new artwork, meet the artists, and enjoy both refreshments and live music. Entertainment and discounts vary from gallery to gallery and change monthly, so you never know what surprises you’ll encounter at the Art Walk! Below is a list of participating galleries, traveling east to west along 30A. Please note that some galleries only participate seasonally, so it’s a good idea to call them beforehand.

art galleries/artist studios listed with two ** will be open from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. Studios marked with * will be open for occassional/seasonal art walks throughout the year.
