ArtWalks are the intersection of our contemporary art scene, historic downtown, and the natural world. Businesses hosts artists and several artists line the streets and parks, making this accessible for all to enjoy.

These free self-guided walks lead you to some of Biddeford’s working artists, local businesses, restaurants, and cafés exhibiting local artwork. Different every time, an ArtWalk evening may include opening receptions, street performances, and visits to open studios. You can view works in progress and even participate in hands-on workshops.

We are proud to power this event for the community with our friends at the City of Biddeford, Heart of Biddeford, and Common Roots Studio.

Thanks to local artist, illustrator, and designer Victoria Gordon for our ArtWalk logo and marketing materials!!!

Engine is and has been a focal point of downtown Biddeford for many years for so many artists and creative spirits. It is a go-to for me: a retreat, a destination, a source for connection and ideas and community.
