The Arts Walk returned for another year, showcasing local artists and wrapping up the Indiana Arts Council’s 16th annual Youth Arts Celebration, chaired by elementary art teacher Jessica Green and violin instructor Swana Chepaitis.
Juxtaposed by last year’s weather, the bright, but blustery, day had something for everybody from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday as Philadelphia Street was lined from Create and Curate near the 11th street intersection to the Fox Clark Gallery on North Sixth Street, where local artists of all ages showcased their crafts and supported business in downtown while doing it.
