Last night may have been a very wet ArtWalk, but we are so grateful to the artists who braved the weather and showed up to share their creativity with our community. Your dedication is inspiring!

And to everyone who came out, supported local artists, visited our local businesses, and made the most of a rainy evening — thank you! Your support is what keeps ArtWalk going and helps make Downtown Longview such a special place for the arts.

We’ll see you again December 10 for Longview ArtWalk: Holiday Edition! And artists, the registration form is now open at artslongview.org/artwalk/

Good morning, Longview! We are looking forward to a wonderful Longview ArtWalk: Fall 2026 this evening — rain or shine!

If there is rain, there will be a few changes to the Sculpture Garden schedule. The featured band, Team Lunch, will move inside to Ollies Skate Shop (thank you, Ollies!) while the 6:00-6:30 performances by the LHS Theatre and poetry by Isaac Perez will move indoors to LMFA - Longview Museum of Fine Arts (thank you, LMFA!)

Many of the 150+ registered vendors will still be setting up inside and outside of businesses all throughout downtown. You may see some extra tents popping up at uncovered spaces to help protect their work.

We need YOU to bring your family and friends to downtown Longview tonight from 5:00-8:00pm! We are looking forward to an evening of fun as we celebrate our incredible creative community!
