Forest Park Art Walk 2026

The Forest Park Art Walk is a self-guided neighborhood event in Raleigh featuring 15 local artists opening their private studios to the public this November. The event invites attendees to explore creative spaces across the tree-lined neighborhood. Participants can meet local creators, view diverse artistic mediums, and purchase original works directly from the artists. Featured disciplines include painting, photography, ceramics, printmaking, and jewelry design. Artists will be available on varying schedules throughout the weekend to discuss their techniques and creative processes. This event provides a unique chance to browse and buy locally made holiday gifts while supporting the regional arts community. The walk is designed for art lovers, families, and neighbors seeking a leisurely, walkable experience near downtown Raleigh. Interactive online tour maps and an alphabetical artist directory will be accessible on the official event website starting November 12, 2026. These digital resources help visitors plan their own custom routes through the neighborhood studios. Admission to this event is free for all attendees.
