The Marquette-Atwood Art Walk is back, live and (mostly) in-person. More important than getting your steps in, you can get your art in. While 2020 was for some a productive year for output, it wasn't tops in fairs, sales, open studios, gallery nights or the like. This neighborhood walk offers artists the chance to showcase their work in situ, though there may be more front yards and garages this year than in-studio setups, as the Walk will follow public health orders. Some artists will be virtual only. There are well known names like Laura Meddaugh, Helen Klebesadel and Leah Evans, plus many more you may be meeting for the first time. For the full rundown, map, and livestream instructions, visit marquette-atwoodartwalk.com, or pick up a map at Hatch Art House.

press release: Sunday, May 2, 2021, 11:00am - 5:00pm. Free. Find a map online or stop at Hatch Art House to pick up a copy of our our map.

Madison’s Isthmus has historically been home to artists, makers and creative individuals. In 2010 two resident potters, Jenny Blasen and Gloria Van Dixhorn collaborated to launch this local art walk. They offered the opportunity for neighbors to break out of their houses each spring to visit and share each other’s work. This successful concept became a spring tradition until, you guessed it, 2020 paused the festivities planned for the 10th anniversary.

In 2021, the Art Walk is back with all that we love, along with a few more opportunities and a change of leadership. Debbie Olin (Studio513) accepted Jenny and Gloria’s invitation to organize the show which is self funded by the participating artists. We will follow Dane County and Madison Public Health orders. 2021 may be bumpy but full speed ahead. Please sign up for email updates. Thank you!
