Celebrate the annual Boylan Heights ArtWalk, a beloved holiday tradition showcasing outstanding art and our vibrant community spirit. Join us for Raleigh's highly anticipated December event in the heart of Boylan Heights, now in its 32nd year.
What's ArtWalk All About?
ArtWalk is an art extravaganza that transforms our historic Boylan Heights neighborhood into a vibrant, outdoor market, featuring talented local artists eager to showcase their unique creations. Discover a diverse array of artistic expressions—from glasswork to jewelry,
metalwork, woodwork, fiber art, ceramics, photography, multimedia creations, paintings,
and more. Artists set up on porches, lawns, and studios, creating a unique and festive atmosphere. All participants are selected through a jury-style process to ensure a
high-quality and diverse showcase of artwork.
