The Downtown Art Walk was first introduced by the Chamber in 2013. In 2014 the Bourbon County Arts Council assumed the event. Our goal is to see this become a trademark cultural event in Fort Scott in which we promote established and emerging artists, providing an opportunity for artists to showcase their talents. We are so fortunate to have such a vast array of unique individuals in the community with such creativity and skills in artwork, including paintings, photography, pottery and jewelry.

This is a family friendly event that takes place on the Patio of the Liberty Theatre and Main Street between First and Second Street on Friday, Sept. 11, from 5 to 8 p.m. There is no charge to attend. The Art Walk is an opportunity for both the art enthusiasts and those simply looking for a pleasant evening out to connect with the artists in our community.

We welcome artists to participate in the Art Walk. We are looking for visual art that has been made, no products or services. There is no charge for artists to participate. Anyone interested may call Deb Anderson at 620-223-8650 or email [email protected]. Each Artist is responsible for their setup needs.

The Young Professional League provides an activity for children.
