2023 Georgetown Art Stroll

Interact with local artists and musicians at the Georgetown Art Stroll in the Downtown Cultural District on October 19th from 4 PM-8 PM! There’ll be artist demos, performances, live music, and art shopping. This unique opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and appreciate creative masterpieces will make your whole week! Here are the deets you need to plan your day.

Follow, Attend, Post, & Tag to Win

First, be sure to follow the Georgetown Arts & Cultural District on Instagram to enter the Instagram photo contest! It’s easy and fun – give their account a follow on Instagram, stroll, and take a picture or two of the art or performance at each venue along the route. Then, you post your photos on Instagram and make your profile public so everyone can see them. Use hashtags #GTXArtSTroll and #ArtStrollPhotos, and you’ll be entered to win cool art prizes!

Walking on Sunshine

Hopefully, the weather will be perfect for your stroll, with sunshine and temps in the high 70s to low 80s. Once you get downtown, start at one of the three check-in locations on the Art Stroll Map. From there, you can roam freely in the arts district. You will definitely want to stroll through the museum, theater, and public library. Stop at the African American Shotgun House Museum at 4 PM to celebrate the historic home receive a Preservation Georgetown marker, and stay for live music from Mega’Tune and hot barbecue from Hello Sweetie. Walk over to the Palace Theatre for the artist reception and exhibit featuring a live performance in the Playhouse. Grab a mocktail for the show, plus live music and dance performances.

As the night progresses, head to the library for dessert, cold-brew coffee shots, and live music by Swing Shift. Be sure to check out the Art Hop exhibit inside and play the seek-and-find game for prizes. Kids will really like this game — and may learn something along the way!

The Downtown shops will also be open with art and demonstrations. You can watch local artist Danny Dale Carroll create his stunningly scary horror art at Prima Dora. Plus, there’ll be organic art from Blue Shed Design, handmade jewelry by Laura Barrett, photographic art from Markus Lindsey Photography, paintings and drawings by Betsy Murphy, and graphic art from Nick Ramos and Graphismo. Get into the Halloween spirit at the Haunted Art House Artist Talk with Sonia Colonna-Mathis. The city’s collection of public art murals and sculptures provides the ideal backdrop as you walk from one location to another.

Your Stroll Badge also gets you free food and drinks and discounts on cocktails and art from local artisans. Stick around for the Sculpture Tour Awards to find out which sculptures get the honors for this year’s annual tour.
