About the event

The First Wednesday Art Walk is a monthly, family-friendly event produced by Downtown Vision (DVI), the Business Improvement District, to bring people to the cultural and historical center of the city and showcase Jacksonville’s deep and energetic pool of creative talent. Art Walk is open to visual and performing artists on the first Wednesday of every month from 5–9 p.m., rain or shine. Art Walk venues stretch across Downtown Jacksonville’s Northbank core and include James Weldon Johnson Park, The Jessie, The Breezeway at VyStar Tower, galleries, museums, restaurants, bars, Downtown businesses, and more. The First Wednesday Art Walk is a great way to meet fellow artists, buy and appreciate their work, and be part of Jacksonville's rapidly growing art scene. We are so excited to return to the streets of #DTJax after a year and a half with no Art Walk due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Please be sure to keep respectful distances and enjoy the event responsibly.

Applications have a five day review process after each Art Walk. Approved categories are used as guidelines to approve artists for the event. Food vendors, entertainers, businesses and organizations are not to apply as an artist. 
 
Upon approval, artists will need to RSVP each month for a booth space. Approval does not automatically reserve a spot each month. Details for the event will be emailed once a booth space is reserved. Artists are responsible for providing their own setup including: tables, a tent, tent weights, chairs, extension cords, etc.
