The Downtown Gallery Crawl, an initiative of the non-profit Downtown Arts Alliance, was designed to enhance the art culture of the 318 and to allow North Louisiana artists a platform to grow, prosper and connect with one another and the local community serving as an impetus to the revitalization of the downtowns of Monroe and West Monroe. The Crawl's mission is to provide interactive art education and to showcase and make accessible to the NELA community the works of emerging and established local, regional and national artists and artisans.
The Downtown Gallery Crawl is free and open to the public occurring every-other-month, six times a year happening from 5pm-9pm on the first Thursday of each month starting in February of each year.
