January 16th ArtWalk
The arts and culture scene is non-stop in Spartanburg, especially in the Downtown Cultural District. Once a month, our cultural entities and creative industries pool their talents to host Spartanburg's largest, consistent, unofficial downtown event. That would be ArtWalk, the third Thursday night of every month: January 16th, 2020.Galleries and artist studios host show openings, breweries and events centers host art markets, and local boutiques host "Sip and Shop" specialty sales and workshops. Times vary, but most events span between 5pm and 8pm. AND, the second best part (after the wonderful local arts and handcrafted goods of course) is the complimentary drinks and cheeses. CHEESES.Anyways, you're here for the arts details! Browse a full list of participating venues and their event links below:
