2014 Cedar City Art Walk: The Cedar City Arts Council is initiating an Art Walk program this summer during the months of June, July, and August. The Art Walk features collaborations between local artists and local businesses and galleries. The exhibits will be on display in the downtown area of Cedar City from June 2-August 31, 2014.

Each month will include a "Final Friday" event—gallery strolls that offer visitors and community members a chance to engage with local businesses and the work of talented visual artists—are scheduled for June 27, July 25, and August 29, from 5–8 pm. The events are thoughtfully scheduled right before the Utah Shakespeare Festival performances, giving patrons an opportunity for an exceptionally diverse arts and culture experience in Cedar City this summer.
