Dozens of downtown Hays shops were open for showcasing art on Friday, December 6th. The Winter Gallery Walk is in place for the Hays community to enjoy the artistic works by students in Hays and the surrounding areas, as well as photography and art professionals. 26 different artists featured their work on display at numerous shops on Friday and Saturday.
Musical entertainment was also available at multiple shops throughout the course of the evening including live music by Jim Pisano and William Flynn at Gella’s Diner, Brad Dawson at J Studio and Salon, and Hays High School Chamber Singers and 809 Studio students at 809 Studio.
Because the Winter Gallery Walk took place on Friday evening and all day Saturday, this gave the Hays community plenty of opportunities to recognize the amazing artwork displayed throughout Main Street and the surrounding area.
