Since 1994

The story of Artwalk

Artwalk began in 1994 as Gallery Night. Six galleries and one bookstore in Alpine opened their doors the weekend before Thanksgiving, and neighbors walked from one to the next.

Over the years that walk grew into a two-day festival that fills downtown Alpine with artists, galleries, food and neighbors. In 2026 it is the 33rd annual Artwalk Alpine.

Hours: 10 AM to 10 PM

Our mission

To provide a venue for the promotion of the arts through educational, economic, and entertainment opportunities for children, students, patrons, artists, and tourists in Alpine, Big Bend and surrounding communities in rural Far West Texas.
