The Center-coordinated monthly mini arts festival features different themes that highlight the best of the visual and performing arts in Abilene. Every second Thursday, Abilene’s Downtown Cultural District comes alive with anywhere between 800 to 1400 individuals. ArtWalk is a family-friendly event that enables a broad cross-section of the community to enjoy free offerings of art and entertainment that involve over 120 businesses and organizations annually. Visitors come from Abilene, the Big Country, and even further to see the work of the artists and performers and to shop and eat downtown.
