DE PERE (NBC 26) — Definitely De Pere is hosting the first Art Walk of the season from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, June 11.

The event takes guests through various businesses showcasing professional and emerging artists.

"We have well over 20 businesses that are participating in our art walk here in the month of June and for today's Art Walk, and we also have well over 40 artists," Tina Quigley, executive director of
Definitely De Pere.

Visitors have the opportunity to view eight outdoor murals and three permanent sculptures as well as listen to live music while meeting local artists in De Pere’s downtown.

"There will be everything for on-exhibit and for purchase and it’s everything from jewelry, paintings, ceramics, and just a really nice variety of art that’s represented in all art mediums," Quigley said.

A free trolley takes visitors from the East side to the West side of downtown operating in a continuous loop throughout the event. The pick up/drop off locations are at the intersection of George and Broadway streets and in the Nicolet Square parking lot. Attendees can pick up the artist listing with a map from these two locations.
