NEVADA CITY, California –Join the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce for an exuberant evening of art in the shops and on the streets. Over 15 downtown Nevada City businesses will participate by staying open late and hosting an artist in their space. Many businesses will have the artists on site, so attendees can meet the makers and mingle in open-house style receptions. Numerous businesses will also offer specials, activities, or live demonstrations.
The mission of the Art Walk is to increase awareness, appreciation, and participation in the arts in our local community, while also increasing commerce for local businesses in the downtown Nevada City area. Nevada City has long since been a cultural and arts hub – the Art Walk aims to put a spotlight on our incredible arts community. The First Friday Art Walks run the first Friday of each month from June through August (July to be held the second week, July 11, due to Independence Day).
In addition to the festivities happening inside businesses, there will be live music and performances on the streets and a small selection of curated arts vendors. The first event kicks-off this Friday, June 6, 2025, from 6-9pm. This month will include performances by Brandon Dannals, the Haute Trash Fashion Show, and Aerialution.
Come spend an evening strolling through downtown, enjoy a meal, visit the shops, and see incredible local artists. The event is free and open to all ages. Maps will be available at the event and on Instagram at @nevadacitychamber with a list of all participating locations.
