Brattleboro is the Arts & Culture capitol of Vermont! And no event captures our fiercely creative spirit like Gallery Walk & First Fridays. These events are your invitation to fall in love with Downtown Brattleboro, whether for the first time, or the hundredth. They remind us what’s possible here, when we lean in to what we share, what makes us strong, what brings us joy.
Gallery Walk is our walkable Gallery Stroll with 14 participating spaces, each with their doors wide open with new exhibits for you to enjoy, free of charge. Every month you can enjoy beautifully curated art installations right here in Brattleboro. Often the artists themselves are present along with complementary programming and/or light refreshments.
