Downtown Redlands Art Walk - Colorfall Summer Outfit

Hi there!
I hope everyone is doing well today. I had a lovely relaxed weekend and then came back to a very busy workplace so I’m definitely glad that I had that time to decompress. Mark and I attended the Spring Downtown Redlands Art Walk on Sunday, and wow, I must say.. It gets bigger and more exciting every time we go. They had bike ramps set up, artists using spray paint to create massive works of art live as onlookers awed, and lots of great local spots that had set up pop-up restaurants for dining on the go.
This was our third time attending, and while I was sooooo close to buying a piece of framed art (a gorgeous botanical sketch), I left only with a hand painted card with the most intricate yet simple pattern of grey & white dots scattered about it. I’ve wanted to walk away with a great sketch or oil painting for some time now, but just can’t seem to make the jump to actually purchasing a substantial piece. I really am regretting not picking up that sketch though, because I got home and found the perfect spot for it! Oh well, perhaps next time.
It really brings me a huge amount of hometown pride to attend events like this. To live in a town that supports and nourishes all of it’s creative minds is incredible. Yes, we have great food and plenty of places to shop, parks and historical locations to explore.. But what sets us apart from other small towns is how much we really allow artistic minds to shine.
I’d love to hear from you, what is your town best known for?
