Enjoy Art of All Kinds
Local artists showcase their talents of all mediums thanks to the many galleries in our region.
Roanoke has a multitude of not just talented artists, but galleries and locations in which to display their work. The list of places to get your art fix is constantly growing!
Experience the Downtown Roanoke galleries during Art By Night, a free event held on the first Friday of each month. Galleries offer guest speaker and artist opportunities, refreshments and of course, allow you to see their artwork. And don’t miss the Taubman’s Sidewalk Art Show, held annually each June.
