Art and leisure

Seven downtown venues will host the Moab Art Walk between 6 and 9 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 12. The public is invited to stroll through the exhibits at their leisure to view a variety of fine art and handmade crafts, enjoy refreshments and mingle with local and visiting artists. Most exhibits will remain up throughout the month for those who are unable to attend the Saturday night walk. A total of six art walks are held each year, with three in the spring and another three in the fall. There will be a final Fall art walk held Saturday, Nov. 9.
