LEWISTON, ME – LA Arts will be presenting the fourth of its five Art Walk LA events on August 30, 2024, from 5:00-8:00pm in downtown Lewiston. The public is invited to attend this free, family-friendly event that celebrates the arts in our community and supports local businesses.

Art Walk LA turns Lewiston’s downtown into a bustling arts district on the final Friday of each month from May through September. Outdoor plazas, sidewalks, local businesses, and storefronts are converted into lively art galleries, creative exhibitions, reception venues, and festive live performance spaces. Featuring both indoor and outdoor activities, the popular summer Art Walk LA series brings artists, craftspeople, musicians, buskers, art vendors, and other performers together to showcase their talents in a safe, family-friendly environment.
