On Saturday June 5, 2010, 30 Artists will visit various sites in and around the Merrimack Valley area to paint. These 'New Paintings' will then be auctioned off that evening to benefit education programs of the Essex Art Center.

The Art Walk is an annual event that takes place on the first Sunday in June, throughout the nooks and crannies of Beacon Hill. Residents open up their private gardens, alleyways, and courtyards and allow artists to display and sell their artwork.
