Fictional ArtWalk spokesman Arthur Walker leads the way through downtown studios and galleries. Art lovers can get a look at some of the best local artwork and get a view inside local artist studios this weekend.

Though Lawrence is an artsy town, there aren’t enough art buyers to support all the local artists, says John Wysocki, director of the Lawrence ArtWalk.

That’s where the Lawrence ArtWalk comes in.

The walking tour of downtown studios and galleries is a way for many Lawrence artists to help get their names out there, Wysocki says. It is now in its 15th year and this year’s walk features 40 artists at 21 locations.

Art lovers on the tour are able to meet some of the artists and see how they work. The Lawrence ArtWalk features artists working in a wide range of media including paintings, sculptures, jewelry and photography.

Some of the featured artists’ work will also be shown at Wink Eyewear, 806 Massachusetts St., until October 11. Showcasing art at Wink Eyewear is a good way to help give artists more exposure, says Deb Rake, employee at Wink.

The Lawrence ArtWalk will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Visit lawrenceartwalk.org for more information.
