The Art Walk will take place on the 4th Wednesdays of the month from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, beginning in April and continuing through June. The event is free to attend and open to all ages.
Hosted at local businesses in downtown Renton, the Art Walk offers a unique opportunity for attendees to explore diverse artworks while supporting the local creative community. This event encourages the public to experience art in an interactive way by visiting various participating businesses throughout the evening.
