Water Valley Art Crawl 2026
October 3 @ 6:00 pm CDT
The 18th annual Water Valley Art Crawl is set for Saturday, October 3rd, 6:00pm – 9:00pm.
The event, organized by the Water Valley Main Street Association, highlights local artists in downtown studio spaces, shops, and private homes.
The eighteenth annual Water Valley Art Crawl will run from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 3. The free event will feature such returning favorites as Mari Foster and Jonathan Kent Adams as well as new participants like the photographer Evan Anderson and painter Stephen Roach.
Galleries and studios along Main Street participating in the event include the Blue Melon Rendezvous, Zoran Gallery, Bozarts Gallery, Kate Donovan Studio, the Gordon Gallery, Jacki Kellum Studio, and Jonathan Kent Adams Studio in the Courthouse Commons.
The Furnishing House and Cattywampus Vintage Supply Co. will also be a part of the 2026 Art Crawl. The Furnishing House—in the Lamar Block building located at the intersection of Wood Street and Railroad Avenue—will feature a number of local artists’ works, while Cattywampus will spotlight the paintings and ceramic work of Joey Young of Lambfish Art.
Other artists will set up in private homes along Wood Street, including the grand, two-story Keith House atop the hill at 311 Wood.
“We’re excited to have so many fantastic artists taking part in this year’s crawl,” said Water Valley Main Street Association director Chris Goodwin. “It’s a great opportunity for local folks to see world-class artists’ work—and buy a piece to take home with them.”
There will be an after party from 9 to 11 p.m. at the Drawing Room by The Magnolia Coffee Co. featuring live music from Knoxville band Dirty Knees and Water Vallians Susan Lee and Tim Lee’s Bark.
The Water Valley Main Street Association works with local artists and galleries to organize the annual art crawl. Anyone interested in volunteering at the Art Crawl should email mainstreetwatervalley@gmail.com
Maps showing all the sites on the Crawl can be picked up at the WVMSA office, 207 N. Main Street, Bozarts Gallery, and Blue Melon Rendezvous.
