Art and Inspiration Fill the Streets at the October Gallery Crawl
Get ready for a night where art meets community! The Downtown Gallery Crawl rolls back into downtown Monroe and West Monroe on Thursday, October 2, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Visitors can wander through vibrant galleries, meet artists face-to-face, and even hop on a wagon ride for a fun trip between the two downtowns.
The Crawl transforms both downtowns into creative hubs, where visitors can discover a wide range of artwork, experience live demonstrations, and enjoy the welcoming energy of the local arts community. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just looking for a fun evening out, the Downtown Gallery Crawl offers something for everyone.
