Midtown Art Walk

Had a very enjoyable evening. it was great to look around town, going to shops I’ve never gone in before, try some local food, had a nice drink.
Was surprised to see so many people venturing downtown (midtown). The weather was very cooperative. Nice cool breeze once the sun went down
Of course there is not a single level walking surface anywhere. Next year I’ll make sure to wear sneakers. LOL. If you’ve never experienced it. Try it next year. I’ll definitely do it again. Always new shops and restaurants popping up. Even had spots for the kids to enjoy.

I remember the first art walk just a few years ago. Some artists scattered throughout the Midtown area that you could walk thru in the 3 – 4 hour time period.
Now the event has really grown. Starting at 4 pm you won’t get every artist in at every stop. The area has expanded from almost Mt Rose Street to Living Stones on Virginia and around the corner onto California Street. Artists that cover the entire spectrum– painters that use all the different mediums, fashion art, musicians and even food art. You can wander in and out of many shops and check out all the displays and talk to each artist. Hang out in sections roped off to enjoy live music and DJ’s and grab a bite from one of the many food trucks or a local restaurant.
Our 4 mile hike was quite the adventure on this beautiful sunny afternoon that continues into the cool Reno evening. We saw as much as possible, and found time for a bite of dinner. A wonderful way to spend some time with great friends and check out the local art scene.
