Look for live jazz and folk music, free food samples, and ice sculptures that melt to reveal prizes hidden inside. Events along the ArtWalk route include a signing by children's book illustrator Sylvia Long at Duley-Jones Gallery, an exhibition of Arizona artists such as Chaille Trevor and Ka Fisher at Wilde Meyer, and an opening reception for former Brady Bunch actress Eve Plumb's latest coffee-inspired paintings at Bonner David Gallery.

Why isn’t Plumb painting instead of pounding the pavement looking for new acting gigs? “[Painting] gives me a feeling of control over my creative life,” Plumb explains on her website. “An actor often has to wait for projects to come along, but I can paint any time of the day.”
