Thief in the Knight @ The W.A Knight Building

Folio Weekly named First Wednesday Art Walk the best reason to go downtown and rightly so. After three years, the Downtown Jacksonville Art Walk is not only going strong, but accelerating. I remember going to my first few art walks, not being so impressed. There were a few people here and there and the art was ok. More recent Art Walk’s have boasted hundreds of people and a true feeling of vibrancy in the city’s core.

Tonight Art Walk will turn three years old. The weather is beautiful today so head downtown tonight and wish Art Walk a happy birthday. Here is a complete guide to tonight’s Art Walk.
