Our unique conversational style tour lets you dig deeper into the murals with information on style, format, color theory, installation, content, behind the scenes stories and more. Our exclusive pairing with the perfect artist for your group centers the artist and creativity during our tour and allows your group to engage with passionate and skilled artists in our community.

ArtWalks CLT will work with you to schedule your tour based on your timing and dates available and artist choice. Please give us at least 3 weeks notice for any group tour request. Tours can be created for a one hour walk or one and a half hours.
Testimonial from Sun City Hiking Club
"Members of our Sun City Carolina Lakes Hiking Club look forward to the art walks we've offered over the past three years thanks to ArtWalks CLT. Art walks are a great way for those new to the area to get to know Charlotte neighborhoods while learning more about the city's incredible public art collection from Anne Low and local artists. And the ArtWalks CLT website is an incredible resource both for advance planning and for those who continue to explore on their own afterwards."
-- Susan W. and Maria A, Hike Leaders
