Performance Events Walton Arts Center provides a season full of diverse performing arts programming. Gallery Exhibits Visual arts exhibitions of all kinds are spotlighted in Walton Arts Center's Joy Pratt Markham Gallery. Local, regional and national artists in a variety of media are showcased on a rotating basis. Many exhibit openings are celebrated with community ArtParties. These free public events spotlight the exhibit and often feature the artist.
Local musicians provide music, and a local caterer offers themed hors d' oeuvres.
These popular events truly showcase the community nature of Walton Arts Center and help to integrate the visual and performing arts. The centerpiece of the arts facilities, which anchors Dickson and West Streets, serves as the primary venue for performing arts activities. In September 1999, the long-awaited opening of the Nadine Baum Learning Center became a reality. From pottery and painting to photography and drawing, the Nadine Baum Learning Center is a place for the community to gather and study with artists from around the region. Performing artists also teach classes and a multi-purpose room offers additional performance space to Walton Arts Center.
