Description

Main Street Morgantown’s final Arts Walk of the season is on Saturday, November 9th, from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. is set to captivate with a blend of live music, arts and fun. 

Featuring more than 50 artists, makers and performers, the expanded Arts Walk showcases the vibrant arts and culture of our region. The theme for this month’s event is, “Attitude of Gratitude.” 

Intoxicated Zen will bring a blend of funk, jazz, hip-hop, soul and rock to Arts Walk, while the Ted Kisko Sound situation will offer a blend of reggae, rock and a little blues. Morgantown Swing, will offer up a DJ set while members of the Morgantown Swing club cut a rug. Singer / songwriter Chris Haddox will perform a set blending Folk, Country and Americana music.

Adding to the evening, Eddie Spaghetti will offer up a printmaking workshop, and Francisco Amaya will share a Mandala Demo. 

The Arts Walk program draws significant foot traffic downtown, providing a platform for local artists and performers while supporting small businesses. Established in 2003 as an annual street bazaar, Arts Walk has evolved into a recurring community event. It continues to celebrate Morgantown’s creative community while inviting visitors to explore the unique offerings of the city’s downtown merchants.
