Artwalk Gardiner was first launched in 2005 by the artists of Artdogs™ studios and a few other area artists. Comprised of a non-juried group of artists who live and/or work within a twenty-mile radius of downtown Gardiner, the mission of Artwalk Gardiner is to increase community awareness and appreciation of the visual arts, and to encourage interaction with local artists and the public by providi

ng artists with a supportive network that fosters the creative economy. Since its inception, Artwalk Gardiner has drawn hundreds of appreciative visitors to Water Street to enjoy these festive evenings of great art and good cheer with area artists.
