ArtWalk

The ArtWalk Banner program was developed to create unique and local artwork (banners) to decorate downtown streets.

This year's theme is Patriotic Palette Party, so feel free to dress in your red, white, and blue.

The ArtWalk Premiere and Auction is the public's first opportunity to see the newly painted banners. Previous years' banners will be sold at the silent auction at the event.

The event is held at the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) and is open to the public free of charge during the event hours.

The banners will be hung on the light posts downtown on Main Street and 6th Avenue. The inspiring artwork will be displayed from May through October on the streets and then will hang in the hallways at the West Bend City Hall for approximately a year. After they have been at City Hall, they will be auctioned off at our next ArtWalk Premiere & Auction.

Painting window will be from January 18th to April 2nd, 2027, for the May 1st, 2027 Artwalk Premiere & Auction.

Attention artists, if you're interested in painting a 2027 banner, please contact the Executive Director:
