It’s time to don walking shoes and stretch to prepare for a season of trekking through venues filled with art, music, food and activities for all ages.
Art Start, from 5 to 8 p.m. April 6, is a warm-up for the Casper Art Walk, which is held the first Thursday of each month starting in May.
Art Start spotlights new exhibitions at ART 321, the Nicolaysen Art Museum and Scarlow’s Gallery.
The family-friendly, free event is a thank-you to the community for supporting the arts, organizers said. Art Start also is a chance for people to take their time with several significant exhibits and meet some of the artists.
“It honors the historic art organizations in Casper,” said Amy Elmore, a volunteer and part of design company Fort Atelier, which is partnering with the Art Walks. “And it’s exciting to see the community embrace and support the arts.”
The three locations will host free receptions with artist talks, food and cash bars. Other highlights include live music, book signings and artist quick draws, prizes and wine tastings.
The event also starts a new tradition of monthly Art Walk passports. Collect all the stamps at featured stops for a chance to win a prize from a downtown business, Scarlow’s owner Claire Marlow said. Also new is an interactive digital map of the Art Start and Art Walk.
Here’s a look at the exhibitions:
