The Downtown Hillsboro First Tuesday Art Walk provides a platform for a diverse range of emerging and experienced artists, musicians, and wineries to directly connect with the heart of Downtown Hillsboro to increase public access to local commerce and the arts. It fosters an appreciation for the arts, provides opportunity for growth and diversity of the downtown art scene, and strives to create an environment of exchange and support between galleries, businesses, creative individuals and the Hillsboro community.
We have gone through a major revitalization. March, 2010 begins our new and improved Art Walk season.
