Walker’s Point Center for the Arts
A community arts celebration
Behind
a sparse storefront on bustling National
Avenue rests a purely collective artistic endeavor
in Walker’s Point Center
for the Arts. The focus here is to celebrate the unique cultures of the city
and give an outlet for mostly local artists to showcase their works to an
appreciative community.
A recent exhibit was devoted to Latino culture with the majority of the artists represented hailing from the area or having formative roots in the city which provided an authenticity and familiar context to the work. The small gallery has two rooms of hardwood floors that give the space a rustic, cozy feel. The natural light that peers in through the large front windows accents a fine collection and cross-section of local art with cultural and socio-political themes or messages.
Walker’s PointCenter for the Arts is open Tuesday-Saturday 12-5 pm.
