ArtWalk
A Karaoke Christmas
Thursday, December 12, 5 - 8 p.m.

It's a Karaoke Christmas at this month's ArtWalk! Wear your ugliest Christmas sweater and challenge your friends to a sing-off, then check out the newest exhibits at downtown museums and galleries. Make-and-take activities will be available for children, and artist-vendors will be selling their work at booths on the street. So tune up, come out, and "sing in" the season with us in historic downtown Abilene!
SAM, the Snow Attacking Machine, painted by Bonham Elementary School artists will be on display in front of the Center for Contemporary Arts, 220 Cypress St.
