EVENT MAP

WE'RE BACK,

​

The Frogtown Artwalk, produced by Elysian Valley Arts Collective, is our signature event that happens on a biennial basis. By creating an artist profile, sponsoring the Artwalk, or donating to our fundraiser, you directly give back to our artist community, which allows us to provide low-cost or free art programs for the youth and community of Elysian Valley.

WE ARE A BIKE-FRIENDLY, LOW-IMPACT EVENT

We strive to be a car-free and low-impact festival. Street parking in Elysian Valley is very limited, so we encourage visitors to ride their bikes, take public transportation, or ride-share to the event.

​

Be sure to check out our Visit The Artwalk page for more transportation information and options.
