INFORMATION→

The Shelton Creative District is pleased to announce the 2026 Shelton Art Walk, a downtown fair celebrating art, performance, and creativity in our community.

Participating businesses throughout downtown Shelton will transform into temporary galleries featuring exhibitions, installations, demonstrations, and live programming.

Cota Street will host an outdoor market with artists, crafters, food vendors, music, performances, and hands-on activities throughout the day.

The theme of the 2026 Shelton Art Walk is Frolic!

Inspired by the spirited gatherings of the Olympus Manor artist colony on Hood Canal in the 1920s, this year’s theme references the “Kit-Kat Frolics” hosted by artist and teacher Orre Nobles.

“Kit-Kat Frolics” were events where artists, writers, and creatives gathered in costume to celebrate creativity, playfulness, and artistic community.

The 2026 Shelton Art Walk will feature artist exhibitions, vendors, performances, and public programming throughout downtown Shelton

Admission to the Art Walk is free and open to the public.

Stay up to date before the Art Walk by following our Instagram and subscribing to our newsletter.

The Shelton Art Walk is made possible through community support.
