First Wednesday Art Walk 

Downtown Vision has proudly hosted the First Wednesday Art Walk monthly since 2003. The health and safety of our community is our highest priority. At the recommendation of the City of Jacksonville and the CDC, we have canceled our First Wednesday Art Walk event as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19. We are rigorously following the updates from the city and federal government and will adapt as needed to keep our event as safe as possible. 

Our virtual events have been put on pause, but there are plenty of ways to continue to support our Artists and Businesses below.
