Held on the first Thursday of every month, March through October, First Thursday ArtWalk is a sophisticated, yet festive event for area artists as well as patrons of the arts. . . past, present, and future! Patrons are encouraged to “walk the art” in historic Downtown Joplin and see dozens of artists showing or demonstrating their artistic process, while offering a wide selection of artwork for sale. Participating artists are located inside various venues along with live, acoustic music.
