Spring Equinox: Inner Sunset Art Walk 

Celebrate SPRING EQUINOX while exploring and supporting local art and business in the Inner Sunset!

Friday, March 21, 2025 | 5P – 8p

Stroll through the charming, festive streets of the Inner Sunset, immerse yourself in the community atmosphere, and discover a diverse range of local art, music and business.

Participating galleries and businesses will offer something to sip and/or special seasonal promotions to take advantage of and enjoy while you shop and connect with neighbors.

RSVP to get updates and a link to the Google map of participating businesses. If you prefer a paper map, you can pick one up at any of the participating businesses.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. RSVP so the merchants and artists know how many people to prepare for. We’ll send you a reminder before the event starts to keep you in the loop with updates. We will also invite you to future art walks and events. We will be hosting an Inner Sunset Art Walk every season, and we hope you will make it a seasonal tradition. You can opt out of our emails after the event if you prefer not to continue receiving them.

2. Start at any of the businesses on the map. As the organizing business, we’ll have wine and our complimentary Tea Bar open and stocked with various herbal and caffeinated varieties of tea and honey for you to enjoy while you check out our current art show and shop from various local artists and vendors, including jewelry, apparel, candles, handcrafted gifts, and art.

3. Choose your own adventure via our Google map or pick up a physical map at any participating merchant location. When you visit each location, be sure to let them know you are part of the art walk so you can take advantage of all the perks. Have fun!
