- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 11:55 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: 🎨 ARTISTS + DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES WANTED
Local art. More shoppers. Two summer Friday evenings downtown.

We’re launching a pilot Main Street Art Walk that pairs artists with downtown businesses to create a walkable, pop-up gallery experience designed to increase foot traffic and in-store shopping.

On two Friday evenings, visitors will stroll downtown, discover local artists inside shops, and stay longer to browse, shop, and dine.

Pagosa Springs Main Street and the Pagosa Area Chamber of Commerce will provide marketing and promotion support for this pilot.

📅 Fri, June 26 + Fri, July 24, 2026
🕓 4:00–7:00 PM (free to attend)
✅ Artists must be set up and ready by 3:30 PM

How It Works (Curated Placement)

Artists and downtown businesses each apply. The Art Walk Committee will review applications and curate matches for the best fit (space, medium, price range, vibe, and professionalism). Spots are limited and placements are curated to create a strong experience for businesses, artists, and visitors.

Who Should Apply

🎨 Artists
Painters, potters, photographers, makers, and more. If you want to showcase and sell your work in a downtown business setting, we’d love to hear from you.

🏬 Downtown Businesses
Retailers and other downtown hosts who want a simple, high-visibility way to bring more shoppers through the door. You provide reasonable indoor display space, stay open during event hours, and we match you with an artist.
