ARTWALK / 1-8 OCTOBER

ArtWalk is an edgy, delightful and surprising week of discovery, so come and find out why this much loved event is fast becoming one of the most popular events on the Mid-North Coast.

This year, ArtWalk will look a little different. Instead of the usual night-time street festival, we are doing a socially-distanced 'Longest Footpath Gallery' in Port Macquarie, Laurieton and Wauchope. Artist Markets will also be held at these three locations, along with a full program of satellite events including workshops, exhibitions and tours.

Come along, get involved and support our local businesses and our creative community! All the info (as well as a full program of events from mid-September) can be found at www.artwalkpmq.com.au.
