The event, which takes place every 2nd Saturday of the month, sees area galleries open their doors and offer complimentary drinks to patrons. In recent years, the event has grown immensely, with food trucks (like Ms. Cheezious) gathering along 2nd Avenue in large numbers to serve hungry art walkers. Kristen took these shots at this month’s event:
