Join us Downtown on Thursday, April 29, 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. for the biggest ArtWalk ever.
The event, which began with only five venues, now has 23 participating businesses throughout Downtown. Don’t miss this fun-filled Spring Fling featuring art, music, refreshments, discounts and prizes!
New venues in April include the Yachting Center and Tomac’s Downtown Galleria on Williams Street.
Tomac’s Downtown Galleria is offering free massages and hair analysis. Visitors may also enjoy wine and hors d’ourves while listening to a live musician and admiring local artists. Another recent addition to the ArtWalk line-up, Nueces Lofts, will feature unique photography-based canvas peels by local artist Jennifer Arnold.
Axis Tattoo has recently added a beautiful new mural to the Starr Street side of its’ building, Virgen de Guadalupe. While you are there, check out eclectic hand-made products by local artist vendors, and drawings and paintings by the artists of Electra Art - Axis Tattoo. Enjoy acoustic guitar by Rudy Castaneda and refreshments while viewing literally thousands of flash art designs on the walls. Axis Tattoo also offers tattoo and body piercing specials during ArtWalk.
K Space Contemporary is featuring several local artists. In the main gallery, K Space Contemporary is hosting the opening reception of Carriers, Panels, and Culm Piles an exhibition of new work by Dennis Kemmerer. Opening in the Hot Spot Gallery inside K Space Art Studios on the third floor is an exhibition of new works by Nora Verdin, Nola Guajardo, Rick Longoria, Joe Pena and Roel Palacios.
The Coastal Bend Artists will be showing at the House of Rock. Musical guests include Ty Deitz and Lion Rivers. Ty is an acoustical artist and a mainstay of the Corpus Christi music scene. Lion Rivers is a band with a new sound that lands between industrial and hypnotic. David Davila will be showing in Produce Gallery, Shop and Music.
The Art Center of Corpus Christi is displaying exhibitions that feature works by artists who are represented in the City of Corpus Christi’s permanent art collection. These exhibitions are organized by the Arts and Cultural Commission for the Festival of the Arts.
