First Fridays Art Walk
Glover Park – Marietta Square
Fri 5:00pm - 8:00pm
Come enjoy an Art Walk, the newest event on the Square. Not only will art galleries be featured, but merchants will also be displaying local, original works of art in their shops. Pick up an Art Walk map, which denotes what locations are featured and what artists will be spotlighted that evening. Maps of the venues are available at each participating merchant and at the Marietta Welcome Center & Visitors Bureau. At each Art Walk stop you'll have your map stamped. After you finish the Walk, you can turn your completed map (with 10 locations stamped) into the Art Walk Headquarters at the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art, 30 Atlanta Street, for a free gift bag.

The Historic Marietta Trolley will make it easier to get to all the Art Walk stops that evening. They are running a free shuttle service that evening from 5pm-8pm. At 8 p.m. the Marietta Trolley and Ghosts of Marietta will combine for "Scary-etta" the trolley ghost tour, and the tours will have extended hours. For more information, call 770-429-1115.
