Boylan Heights ArtWalk

The Boylan Heights ArtWalk turns one of Raleigh’s historic neighborhoods into an art market once a year. It is an outdoor event, held in the neighborhood itself instead of a hall or a gallery space.

Visitors walk the streets from house to house, so the neighborhood is part of the day as much as the art is. The artists are local and the work is their own, which makes the market feel closer to a series of open front doors than to a fair on a closed street.

What to know

• The ArtWalk takes place every December.
• Work is displayed on porches, front lawns and driveways.
• The market spreads throughout the Boylan Heights neighborhood.
