The Main Street Arts Council, based in Hoxie, invites all area art enthusiasts to the annual “Main Street Art Walk” scheduled for Friday, Aug. 23 from 5 to 8 p.m. in downtown Hoxie.
Enjoy an evening of art, food, fresh air and fun as you make your way through Main Street viewing the artworks of more than 20 area artists.
New this year, a raffle drawing for three great prizes will be held in conjunction with the evening’s event. Those interested can pick up a map at the check-in table (to be located on the corner of Equity Bank), visit all artists and acquire his/her signature, then drop off the map (with participant name and contact information) at The Living Room, 721 Main St. for a chance to win.

A silent auction featuring donated works from the participating artists will be set up and available for bidding from 5 to 7:45 p.m. at The Living Room. Funds raised help support area student scholarships to study the arts and music.
