About:

Since 2006, the ‘One and Only’ Downtown Paragould has been celebrating Art and Stroll. Art and Stroll is the only local festival that celebrates the many types of “art” in our community. Art and Stroll originated as a “1st Thursday” in May evening event. In 2017, we moved Art and Stroll to a full day Saturday event. Art and Stroll has continued to grow as the event that brings art, artists, dance, theater, music, and our community together. In 2019, 32 different music groups performed, regional artists displayed and sold their work, we had two painting classes - one for kids, one for adults, there were mimes, hula hoop-ers, street performers, and artisan crafters of all types joined our more traditional canvas artists. To add to the “festival” experience, food trucks lined Pruett Street and our shops moved outside.

This year, we are hosting a Friday evening event, the Gallery Gala, for our fine artists.

The Gallery Gala will be Friday, May 20th from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at The Crossing, 101 S. Pruett Street. Our invited guests will enjoy heavy appetizers, libations, an auction, and music at the “gallery” style event. We hope this new addition to Art and Stroll will attract “buyers” and create an additional opportunity for you, our artists, to sell your work. We will also be sending out invitations. 870-240-0544 or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
