The Avondale Estates Wine & Art Walk will take place on:

25 venues throughout the business district of Avondale Estates will offer wine tastings to ticket holders during the event.

Art is coordinated by Isadora Pennington, President of the Avondale Arts Alliance, and we are inviting painters from the Virginia Highland Plein Air Painters to register as a painter during the city-wide event.

Relevant Details:

  • Painters will be assigned to key locations throughout the business district and along the route of the walk.

  • Painters can bring their own easels, wagons, umbrellas, chairs, etc. as needed.

  • Painters will be able to take breaks and use the restroom inside of the Avondale Arts Center during the entirety of the event.

  • Artists do not have to hang their works or have them for sale if they don’t wish to.

  • We will promote artists on Avondale Arts Alliance and Explore Avondale social media channels, and add artists to our interactive map which is available to all who are walking in the district.
