​The Downtown West Bend Association welcomes you to enjoy wonderful ArtWalk banners that decorate our beautiful Historic Downtown.
Are you an artist interest in painting a banner?
Please send samples of your paintings to gena@downtownwestbend.com ArtWalk banners go out to artists in January & they are due back in April. ​
  • Each year 50 artists volunteer their time to craft beautiful hand painted banners.
                  (the DWBA provides the banners)
  • ​These banners are hung on the light poles of Main Street and 6th Avenue from the end of May till the end of October.
  • When the banners come off the light post they are re-hung for 1 year in the halls of the West Bend City Hall.  
  • When the banners are switched out at city hall  the auction begins.     
  • This allows art lovers to  purchasing their favorite banners.
  • The Auction will be held at MOWA.  The Artwalk’s intimately scaled presentations foster new relationships, active conversations with artists and gallerists, while offering a close look at these beautiful, creative banners.  
  • The Artwalk event provides its audience with a wide scope of cultural experiences, meaningful interactions, and illuminating exposure to phenomenal artists right in our own community.
