The Art Walk happens the 2nd and last Saturday of every month in the downtown Pomona Arts Colony and begins at 6pm. Skrip made an Art Walk visit last month and came away impressed:

We walked thru the little plaza area where a reggae band was playing and checked it out. Also checked out the small farmers market in the plaza. We saw police on segways, and the crowd looked relaxed and happy. I'll cut this short, we basically saw most of the galleries on 2nd st, Main st, 3rd and up Thomas. Through those galleries, some owners came out directly to me and my wife and offered wine, martinis or food. Some galleries like the Bunny Gunner were impossible to get into due to the large crowd in & outside of it! I was amazed at how cool the scene was. There was a concert at the Glass House as well. We had a quick drink at the Glass House bar (very cool little bar) and ended our night at Joey's. That's where I discovered 'Pomona Queen' beer. I ended up having about 4 or 5, yacking with the bartender and a couple from Riverside at the bar all night. We spent about 3+ hours at the artwalk that night, met a few new people and went home relaxed. We talked about how cool and kickback the experience was not knowing anyone, being armed with nothing but a little map.
