What is the
Live Art Walk?

The Live Art Walk is a free, family-friendly outdoor arts event that transforms Farmington’s Main Street into a walkable, one-mile art gallery. Featuring more than 40 local artists, the event invites the public to explore live painting, illustration, carving, quilting, and mixed-media art while engaging directly with the creators. Designed to celebrate local creativity and community connection, the Live Art Walk activates public spaces, supports local artists, and showcases Farmington’s emerging identity as a vibrant Cultural District.

An artist paints outdoors in a park with trees and grass, sitting at an easel with a landscape painting of trees and rocks. Art supplies are on a small table and in a toolbox on the ground.
