Oceanside's Friday Art Walk Starts Soon

See an Artist…Be an Artist at the Oceanside First Friday Art Walk

Oceanside, California – March 24, 2017 – Not only can you see dozens of talented local artists at the Oceanside First Friday Art Walk on Friday, April 7th from 5:00pm – 9:00pm…you can also be an artist by collaborating in the first “audience participation” art walk to be held in downtown Oceanside.

“We really wanted to try something new and different this time to encourage our attendees to participate in the Art Walk and let them add their mark to the Oceanside art scene,” said Susan Brown, president of the Oceanside Friends of the Arts. Art supplies will be available in Artist Alley for interested attendees and the artist’s will provide suggestions for adding to the canvas “art in progress” as they walk through the more than 15 venues. The Oceanside Friends of the Art will document the original creations and make replica post cards and note cards from them available for purchase.

The Art Walk is a free event and available to all ages. In 2016, over 300 different artists appeared in the monthly event in over 40 different business, civic areas and vacant spaces in downtown Oceanside. Please join us as we feature our vibrant art community showcasing live performances, music, poetry, art education, culinary samples and pop-up art galleries.

The Oceanside Friends of the Arts, a Non-Profit 501c3 Charity, was established in 2016 with the goal of promoting Oceanside and surrounding communities as an important arts, culture, entertainment and tourism hub/destination that catalyzes economic prosperity and a high quality of life for Oceanside’s future. Fundraising proceeds will go to support First Friday Art Walk and scholarships for high school graduates to further their art education.
