Galleries, studios, murals and patios packed into a few walkable blocks of Trade Street – the creative heart of the 'City of Arts and Innovation'.
Winston-Salem calls itself the City of Arts and Innovation, and the Downtown Arts District around Trade Street is where you feel it most. Independent galleries and artist studios sit next to restaurants, coffee shops and bars, with colourful murals on the side streets.
Tips
- Monthly gallery hops bring live music and open studios – check the district's calendar for dates.
- It is all within walking distance of our downtown homes, so leave the car at the house.
- Great for an easy evening: browse, then dinner on a patio.
