This Friday, March 6, from 5:00–9:00 p.m. downtown Hot Springs brings together artists and the community for a Gallery Walk. Hosted since 1989, Gallery Walk takes place on the first Friday of each month. From student showcases to established masters, the event offers an evening where creativity at every stage is on display.
This month discover the depth and diversity of Hot Springs’ arts scene at Blue Donut Art Gallery. They will feature a retrospective exhibition by nationally acclaimed contemporary artist, David Malcolm Rose. His bold and expressive works anchor a dynamic exhibition space near the Greenway Trail.
Nearby at Justus Fine Art Gallery, the March exhibit includes works by Mark Blaney and Robyn Horn, presenting museum-quality sculpture, painting, and mixed media in one of downtown’s premier fine art settings.
Along with exhibitions in the galleries, there will be pop-up art events throughout downtown. Look for contemporary and traditional fine art to handcrafted works and unique local pieces during the evening.

Another art event to check out is the - Have a Heart for Art - event at the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts (ASMSA). Students from multiple grades participated in the exhibition that features artwork from Garland County students, and galleries filled with the work of established professionals.
