Thursday, August 6th is Artist Appreciation Month ... ARTS WALK!


EVENT CALENDAR:

August 6 
Artist Appreciation Month

~ Get involved! If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for Arts Walk Downtown Torrington [HERE]


Downtown Arts Walk
Thursday August 6th
Artist Appreciation


Picture

Join us in Downtown Torrington for ARTS WALK on the First Thursday of every month. Many businesses start the "hop" as early as 1pm, with
festivities lasting into the early evening, later as the days become longer. Experience your creative side, visiting with local artists and arts minded businesses. Venues will be offering debuts of guest artisans, art talks, music, refreshments, introductions of their newest works, raffles, and SALES!

ARTS WALK grew from the inspiration of Five Points Gallery. Built on the backs of devoted volunteers, Five Points became a cultural jewel in the crown of Litchfield County's rolling hills.  Promoting the businesses and the Arts in downtown Torrington into the future, the gallery has inspired many arts-minded businesses to call Torrington  "Home". Through the first
Thursday arts walks, these businesses have joined together to offer a delightful experience to share with family and friends.

It's easy! Pick up an ARTS WALK map and hop from one gallery or arts event to the next. Appeal to your senses, and enjoy stopping at the many delightful eateries and pubs along the way.  Chase away the doldrums, get out and about! Experience quintessential downtown Torrington, it's architecture, history and its people. Please help all of us to get the word out! Let's make Torrington the destination spot it always enjoyed being. Restore Torrington to the center of culture and commerce that it deserves to be.   [WEBSITE]
