Spend the afternoon meandering along the village streets of Warwick, New York appreciating art, witnessing the artistic process of artists as they create new work, experiencing hands-on art making and visiting local shops and restaurants. 

Wonder Wander Warwick brings art to six public places for all ages to experience. Collaborative groupings of more than a dozen visual and performing artists are located within walking distances at art studios and public spaces throughout the village. At each of the six locations along the art walk artists will display their work and provide opportunities for guests to participate in hands-on art making, including opportunities to create a Wonder Wand, a keepsake work of art. Select studio stops will have the necessary tools and materials to make mixed media artwork that participants can combine to create their own unique Wonder Wand.
