Support Local Artists
The Pinole Art Walk is proud to host a growing collection of diverse artwork by local artists. Art Walk is a place to come and view these works of art and become inspired by the possibilities that surround us. Every piece has its own story, which weaves together like threads in a tapestry to create an intricate narrative. Thank you for supporting the Pinole Art community by coming out with friends, buying art, and creating the kind of city you want to live in!
Vision
The Pinole’s First Art Walk is a free, vibrant celebration of art and community in Downtown Pinole. We never charge artists to participate, honoring their creativity as a gift to our shared culture.
Inspired by the idea that “life is pure adventure” (Maya Angelou), we see art as a universal connector. Our event brings together local artists, businesses, and residents in a family-friendly evening of art display, and optional non-alcoholic beverages, fostering connection and goodwill.
Artists are altruists, sharing their work in open, respectful exchanges—be it through sales, bartering, or storytelling—at participating businesses. We welcome all to engage politely, creating a market of creativity and community spirit. The Art Walk is a place where Pinole’s diversity shines, uniting us through the arts for the common good.
Join us to celebrate, connect, and create something bigger than ourselves.
