ArtWalk Westfield, a free art and cultural experience that takes each month in downtown Westfield, will feature a unique mix of local and regional artists on Friday evening June 21, the Summer Solstice, from 5pm to 7pm in pop-up art galleries located in the Gaslight Gallery District along Elm Street between Church and School Streets.

Immediately following the ArtWalk experience, the Downtown Live! Friday Night concert series kicks off the summer season with a performance by the Berkshire Mountain Boys from 7-9pm at 53 Elm Street next to Mina’s Wine and Spirits, immediate across Elm Street from the Gaslight Gallery District. Downtown Live! Friday Night concerts will take place each Friday evening from 7-9pm at 53 Elm Street through August 30th, with the exception of the July 4 weekend and Westfield Food Fest event

Both ArtWalk Westfield and the Downtown Live! Friday Night concerts are free to the public! June ArtWalk Westfield will feature a mix of local and regional artists along with several live demonstrations. One of the utility box muralists featured during the Westfield 350th birthday weekend will make her gallery debut at ArtWalk!

All artists will be on hand at each pop up gallery location to answer questions and chat about their work. Most pieces of art work will be available for purchase. Celebrate the Summer Solstice by making it a “Friday Night Out” in downtown Westfield to experience art, live music, dining, refreshments and shopping, all within walking distance along Elm Street.

ArtWalk Westfield is held on the third Friday of each month from 5-7pm May through August, featuring a different mix of artists and artistic mediums each month. During the fall and cold weather months from September through March ArtWalk takes place on the third Saturday from 11am to 1pm.
