The Junction City Arts Council will hold their Winter Gallery Walk on Friday, December 16 from 5-7 p.m. in downtown Junction City.

Up to 15 merchants in the 100 and 200 blocks of West Seventh Street and the 600 to 900 blocks on North Washington will host regional artists and their artwork, and offer wine, coffee, or cider and hors d’oeuvres to the public as they visit each “gallery” location.

Gallery maps will be available inside the Opera House at 135 West Seventh. Then you can tour downtown merchants, meet the artists and find handmade gifts.

patrons will find paintings, photography, metal craft, repurposed wood craft, textured collage paintings, wood working, basket weaving, papier mache sculpture, youth art work from the Arts Council’s Saturday elementary classes and more.

Santa Claus will also be in attendance.
