You are invited to participate in the Tigard Downtown Alliance annual ArtWalk Festival happening May 13-22, 2022 in beautiful downtown Tigard. The ArtWalk Festival is a multi-faceted community art festival that includes art displays, artist demonstrations, performances by local musicians and performers, refreshments, and children’s hands-on activities and showcases artists of all mediums, all experiences and renown.  With multiple activities for attendees to interact with art and the people who make it, this weeklong event is growing and reaching expanded audiences. This is an exciting opportunity for you to share your passion for art and your creative endeavors.
