Celebrate 20 years of creativity and community at the Hillsboro Art Walk’s 20th Anniversary!
Join the fun on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, from 5 to 8 pm to celebrate two decades of art, music, and Downtown vibrancy.
For this special 20th anniversary, 20 local artists have created 20 unique event stickers—and you’re invited to collect them all! Pick up a free commemorative sticker at each participating Art Walk location while supplies last.
Explore local art, enjoy live music, meet creators, and discover the heart of Hillsboro’s cultural scene. The anniversary stickers are presented by the Catherine Bede Gallery and the City of Hillsboro Cultural Arts District, in partnership with twenty downtown businesses and art spaces, and local artists. Live music will be presented in partnership with Influence Music Hall. To see profiles of the winning "sticker artists" and their venues beginning twenty days before the anniversary, visit the Hillsboro Art Walk Facebook Page.
