Art Map Burlington
On December’s
First Friday Art Walk,
there are 41 venues in Burlington, Shelburne, and Winooski staying open
late to welcome Art Walkers and share in our incredible art scene. In
the print edition of
Art Map Burlington, look for listings with a *, which indicates the venue is open for First Friday Art Walk.
Some venues are having
events, several have
live music, and all of
them have something worth checking out.
You might also find a special
gift for the holidays.
