The warmth is back, and so is Artwalk season in Lewiston/Auburn.

Artwalk is celebrating its fifth year in L/A where, during the final Friday evening of the month from May to September, downtown Lewiston is turned into a vibrant arts district. From 5-8:30 p.m. tonight, over twenty greater Lisbon Street organizations and storefronts will be opening their doors and offering visual art galleries, live performances and special exhibits free to patrons. L/A Arts is curating more than ten such galleries, including transforming multiple empty storefronts into arts venues. Artwalk also offers a full website which highlights each evening’s events, features an artist catalog of work and lists the venues in which they will be displayed. The public can browse, enjoy and purchase works before and after the event at artwalklewistonauburn.com.

As a supportive event for local artists and the growing arts and culture scene in L/A, L/A Arts accepts all art which is submitted

— as long as it follows the installation guidelines. The event offers creatives the opportunity for extensive exposure and a chance to sell their artwork to the hundreds of arts appreciators who come every month. There is a small submission fee of $5 for artists, and L/A Arts takes zero commissions on sold artwork with the exception of a5percentpaymentprocessingfee.

All interested artists can find out more information and submit artwork online for the next Artwalk at artwalklewistonauburn.com/submit-art.
