Spring Art Walk / Art Battle

Spring Art Walk 2013 was a hit!

On Friday, April 26th, downtown Lake Charles was packed with over 1,000 art walkers touring businesses and art venues for an experience of SWLA’s best local art. Over 100 artists displayed and sold their work in nearly two dozen locations.

This year saw the event’s first outdoor art market, pub crawl, and Student Art Battle, all of which were wildly successful. 

Spring Art Walk is designed to turn downtown businesses, cafes, restaurants, and vacant buildings into pop-up galleries for the evening to foster a relationship between the arts and local businesses. 

Thank you to the artists and venues that took part of our 2013 event! Visit our Flickr account to view photos from the event.
