  1. We are thrilled with Art Walk and were happy to see so many out for the first one. As a local who regulates downtown businesses, lives near by and knows many local artists I wanted to say that I think you had a great idea with keeping it once a month. It will be hard to get artists every week and locals will not look forward to attending. Just my opinion. I would hate to see you burn something out before it even starts. It has been so needed. Quality not quantity would have the most lasting effect. Thanks for all your hard work!

  2. Hi I am a 13 year old girl and I play guitar and sing I have a list of about 25 songs I do. I would like to come to the art walk and just sit and play somewhere, is that possible? I have been told I am very good. But I just would like to get some experience playing in public. Is this possible? Do I need to audition? I dont expect to get payed or anything.
