The Harrisonburg Downtown Art Walk is a resource for locals and visitors alike to engage with public art. Public art provides access to beauty and imagination; things that everyone should be able to enjoy freely. Harrisonburg has long supported a thriving artistic community, and nearly 30 local murals, mosaics, and sculptures are a testament to that. The Art Walk exists to share the talent of our local artists, the importance of the businesses and organizations who support them, and inspiration to all who pass through it.
When viewing the interactive map on your mobile device, tapping the map will make the locations of the art appear as grey icons, with the art currently selected appearing in red. You must scroll up on the images in order to read more info about them. Thank you for participating, and please enjoy.
