Downtown Lake Charles
Each year on the last Friday in April, the Arts Council of SWLA and the City of Lake Charles brings Spring Art Walk to downtown Lake Charles. This free event concentrates the vibrant Lake Area arts community into a few square blocks of the Charlestown Cultural District for a full-force showcase!
Coffee shops, salons, restaurants, and even vacant buildings are turned into pop-up galleries for the evening, with Ryan and Broad Streets full of live music and performances, tasty food trucks, the exciting Art War competitions, and an extensive open-air art market. Downtown venues offer drink specials, demonstrations, after-parties, and giveaways.

The popular Art War challenges adult and student teams to create a mural in one hour in front of a live audience, and the public chooses the winning team by depositing tips into their favorite team’s tip jar. Mediums and styles ranging from ink and brush to traditional oil and acrylic will be used as the audience witnesses the entire creation process.
Maps of participating locations and artists are available for pick-up during the event.
Spring Art Walk is presented by the Arts Council of SWLA, the City of Lake Charles, and PPG Industries, with sponsorship from Volkswagen of Lake Charles, The Art Factory, Crying Eagle Brewing, CSE Federal Credit Union, Event Solutions, Image360, Knight Media Inc, Louisiana Radio Communications, and Redfish Rentals.
