The Art Galleries of Carefree are pleased to announce the launch of the First Thursday’s Art Walk in picturesque Downtown Carefree. The Art Walk features 13 unique and locally owned galleries offering a diversity of fine art, jewelry, and home décor. Each participating gallery will have snacks and refreshments, as well as featured gallery artists.

“We are so excited to kick this event off,” says Michele Hutchins of Gallery Michele. “Carefree’s First Thursdays are an opportunity to celebrate local creativity and culture. Each Art Walk event in downtown Carefree presents an opportunity to recognize a local artist whose creativity and artistic spirit make this community a better place to live, work, and visit.”
