For a leisurely evening and the chance to meet some interesting people, check out one of three art walks in the area.

With galleries, museums and other businesses open later than usual, you can combine an evening of art and history with dinner, drinks and local music while you talk up the artists whose work is on display.

Downtown Little Rock hosts 2nd Friday Art Night monthly from 5 p.m.-8 p.m. Across the river, the Argenta ArtWalk happens on the third Friday of every month during the same hours. The Hillcrest neighborhood hosts the First Thursday Shop and Sip monthly as well, following the same type of format.
