Openings: June 27 & August 1
The Nelson and District Arts Council (NDAC) is delighted to announce that the 37th annual ArtWalk will return in 2025, illuminating the businesses and streets of Nelson for a fully in-person experience featuring local artists, live performers, and music.
ArtWalk’s two opening nights happen on Friday, June 27th and Friday, August 1st. The opening celebrations will present the participating artists at their venues and also feature a series of street performances and other delights throughout Nelson’s downtown core.

Professional and emerging artists alike are encouraged to apply for ArtWalk; not all applicants will be selected but priority will be given to artists showing recent work not previously exhibited at ArtWalk or other Nelson venues.
To support our community’s economic recovery from the pandemic, NDAC will continue to waive participation fees for artists for the 2025 edition.
Artist and venue applications are open from Monday, February 24th to Thursday, April 17th at 11:55pm PST.
