Montana Avenue Art Walk Returns September 27

The Montana Avenue Art Walk will take place Saturday, September 27 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., transforming Montana Avenue from 7th to 17th Streets into a vibrant open-streets arts destination.

Free and open to all ages, the event features 150-plus visual artists, live music presented by Pence Hathorn Silver – Luxury Property Group, free kids’ workshops by Paint+Lab, and a $20 Wine Garden hosted by Bottled Poetry—all set among the avenue’s independent boutiques and local eateries.

“In recent years, we’ve watched Art Walk grow into a notable regional event—on par with long-standing shows like the Beverly Hills Art Show,” said Jenny Rice, Event Producer for the Montana Avenue Merchants Association. “Artists are coming from across the region, and thousands of residents and art enthusiasts are filling the street. It’s a powerful testament to how much this community supports Open Streets festivals and how deeply Santa Monica values the arts.”

Event Highlights Include:

-- Bottled Poetry Wine Garden ($20): Curated wine tastings, a featured art display, and a live set by DJ MOZO.

-- Live Music (7th–17th Streets): Jazz, Latin, cover bands, and DJ performances throughout the day, presented by Pence Hathorn Silver – Luxury Property Group.

-- Free Workshops by Paint+Lab: All-ages activities including acrylic lessons for kids, abstract “adventure” stations, and speed-portrait drawing.

The Montana Avenue Art Walk is presented by the Montana Avenue Merchants Association, with support from Art of Recovery, an initiative of the City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs.

- Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce
