Local art will be on display Saturday, June 9, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., during the Moab Art Walk, the last of the summer.
After this, the monthly Art Walk will reconvene Sept. 8, Oct. 13 and Nov. 10.
This weekend, community members can stroll through the exhibits at their leisure.
On display will be a variety of fine art and handmade crafts.
Attendees can also enjoy refreshments and mingle with local and visiting artists.
Those who can’t make it out Saturday night are in luck, too, though. Most exhibits will remain up throughout the month.
