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 April 1st event as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19. We will miss spending time with our incredible community at #ArtWalkJax this week! We are rigorously following the updates from the City and federal government and will keep you posted as we determine whether or not we can host the May Art Walk. Visit iloveartwalk.com to visit online stores and stay up-to-date with your favorite artists and performers.
The Downtown Vision office is closed but the team can be contacted by email.
