Explore downtown and enjoy a taste of Medicine Hat's vibrant arts and culture scene. Wander between participating Art Walk venues to take in art activities, celebrations and specials.

Each venue has carefully curated its own unique experience, showcasing the creativity and talents of the host venue and collaborating artists.
