Lenox Fall Art Walk

Print Story | Email Story
LENOX, Mass. — On Saturday Sept. 9 and Sunday Sept. 10, the town of Lenox will host the 2023 Fall Art Walk event.
 
The event is a collaboration with the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, the Lenox Cultural District and Gordon Fine Arts. The event will run Saturday 10:00am- 5:00pm and Sunday 11:00- 4:00pm.
 
This is the 7th Lenox Art Walk to be held. The Art Walk is a curated show of artists and artisans who showcase their work throughout downtown Lenox. The Artists' tents will be set up along the Main Street sidewalk and into Lilac Park. A wide range of Artists representing various mediums are invited to display their artwork and artisan products over the two day event. Offerings include paintings, drawings, photographs, ceramics, fiber arts, jewelry and clothing.
 
The event, which began in Fall of 2020 in an effort to introduce high end Artists to the residents and visitors of Lenox has grown to upwards of 50 Artists with over 3000 attendees. The previous Art Walks have been well received by the town businesses and hugely successful due the caliber of Artists that attend. These artists attract a discerning Art crowd that also enjoys shopping and dining in Lenox.
 
 "Our goal is to continue merging Art and Commerce in a beautiful setting like the Berkshires that attracts people who have a great appreciation for what is offered at our shows. For this Spring Art Walk,  we are having to turn Artists away because the event has become so popular. We want all of the Artists to  make money, so it is important to  maintain a show size that allows that," said Sue Gordon, Gordon Fine Arts.
 
Also as part of the Lenox Art Walk festival there will be live music performances on Church Street booked by Berkshire Busk as well as food vendors on Main Street. The event kicks off Saturday, September 9th at 10:00am.
