A Walk of Art

SUNDAY December 5, 2021
“What art offers is space — a certain breathing room for the spirit.”
John Updike
This second week of December is still an opportune time to stretch our legs outdoors and look around at the lovely works the region’s artists have to offer.
Kudos to communities like Longview that are hosting art walks this month. The walks promote local commerce and encourage interaction between artists and the public. Read about ArtWalk Longview and the Holiday Market hosted by Longview Museum of Fine Arts in this issue.
Visit the County Line eMagazine and our Events page for these and other activities that encourage enjoyment of artistic treasures in the Upper East Side of Texas. — Lisa Tang
