Blooming Businesses: Art on the Bricks serves as a dynamic gateway to Downtown Rogers, fostering connections among individuals, couples, friends, and families.

  • This event is more than just an art walk; it's a catalyst for community engagement, designed to attract people to the heart of the city.

  • By offering unique and memorable experiences, the Art Walk encourages patrons to shop, dine, and explore the vibrant Downtown Rogers area.

  • Held on the second Thursday of each month, it is a key initiative in driving foot traffic and supporting local businesses, creating a lively and thriving downtown atmosphere.

Why it matters: Fun, free and family friendly events are easy to promote.

  • Each month we have a theme that is socially or culturally significant. These themes are designed to attract. the news media. They don’t limit what artists or businesses do!

  • Events published on Facebook are seen by people who might not be following a specific FB account.

  • The Chamber sends news releases to television, radio, print and digital media outlets and has great success getting coverage of this monthly event.

  • When the community consistently hears about activities taking place in DTR, our community will be top of mind when they are thinking about places to go other times of the month.

  • Because of our consistency, the Chamber has a great relationship with the news media and know we will respond when they are looking for a first point of contact for other news stories.

  • Your business is invited to be on the Art Walk map whether you have an artist/music/etc. or not. If you are open on the 2nd Thursday of any month—from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 or 7:30 p.m. for shopping, dining or cocktails—we will add you to the map. Just let us know!

What’s next:

  • Here are the Art on the Bricks Art Walk Facebook Events for September 12 and October 10. It is always free to be added to the map and participate however you like. Just send email to [email protected] or call or text 785-969-1332.
