An outdoor studio and gallery featuring over 230 working artists!

For three days, visual arts infuses Old Strathcona with a rich texture of art making and bohemian artistic spirit. The studios move into the streets where art makers and art admirers share in the romance of creation and construction. We invite you to explore the diverse, creative energy and meet some undiscovered masters. It is an open accepting space.

Since 1995, we have been bringing art back to its roots of free speech and expression. The Whyte Avenue Art Walk has become an eclectic visual feast with something for everyone.

“Bringing the studio to the streets allows for a more intimate relationship between artist and viewer. Meeting artists from all over Alberta, talking to them about their work and finding something that speaks to you, this is the Whyte Avenue Art Walk.”
Kim Fjorbotten, The Paint Spot Owner

“This event had very humble beginnings with two people who wanted to have art on the avenue. We now provide a venue for over local 200 artists to create and sell their art in an accessible and approachable event. The Whyte Avenue Art Walk brings artists of every description; painters, sculptors, woodcarvers, glass makers, cartoonists, illustrators. Sketch artists, to name a few.”
Karen Tabor, Old Strathcona Foundation

“What would it have felt like to watch Da Vinci create the Mona Lisa? The Whyte Avenue Art Walk transforms the streets of Old Strathcona into a truly remarkable spectacle, a performance of the visual arts.
Stroll through our streets, chat with artists as they work and invest in an original piece of art. The opportunity to get intimate with the visual arts shouldn’t be missed.”
Shirley Lowe, Old Strathcona Business Association
