CPRV Front Porch Art Walk - 10.1.23

THE CPRV FRONT PORCH ART WALK IS BACK!!
 
Colonial Place–Riverview’s 2023 Front Porch Art Walk is like no other in Hampton Roads. In its 22nd year, Colonial Place & Riverview resident artists will showcase original works of art and creativity on their front porches throughout the day’s walking tour. The Front Porch Art Walk has grown and changed from its inception in 1998 when artist and CPRV resident Sheila Robinson conceived the idea to highlight and support local fine artists.
 
The Art Walk is a perfect chance to shop locally before the holidays for fun finds such as hand-made pottery, mosaics, oil & acrylic paintings, prints, fiber art, handmade cards, photography, jewelry, pyrography, local honey and a variety of other amazing items our creatives in CPRV offer.
 
Maps showing the location of all artists will be available here for download and in-person at each participating artist location. We encourage you to save the map to your phone as a photo for quick, easy reference. Several hospitality sites will be available for rest and refreshments, and attendees are encouraged to visit both neighborhoods on foot or on the bike.
 
The CPRV Front Porch Art Walk will be held, rain or shine, on Sunday, October 1, 2023, and is free and open to the public. For more details, make sure to follow the event on Facebook.
