Join us 3rd Fridays this summer in Pilsen! The Pilsen Summer Art Walk is presented by ESDC in collaboration with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

This is the latest ESDC initiative under the Shop Pilsen programs, which are focused to attract locals and visitors all year round. The Pilsen Summer Art Walk will have more than a dozen visual artists and performers showcasing their diverse artistic or musical talents, as well as local galleries and pop-up shops joining this vibrant walk.

We encourage participants to purchase unique art, listen to live music performances or make plans before or after hours at our many popular restaurants and local eateries.

“The Pilsen Art Walk embraces the connections of arts, culture, and economic development,” says Jaime Garza, Special Events Director at ESDC. “Galleries will get to showcase prominent local, national, and international artists, as well as support hand-crafted works by artisans. Also, Pilsen’s culture and art scene play a key role in continuing its legacy of building community wealth. We need to keep driving investment to creatives and community builders.”
