This vibrant monthly event transforms the downtown experience into a walking celebration of visual art and community spirit. Participating locations will be marked with white “Art Stroll” flags, guiding guests on a self-paced tour through art-filled spaces and welcoming storefronts.

Among this month’s highlights:

1st Street Studio Gallery will host artist Teresa Steinbach Garcia, offering a live watercolor class demo. Curious guests can observe the teaching process in action and sign up for future sessions through Winters Collective.

At the Winters Museum, the Winters Participation Gallery for the Arts welcomes Jaime Montiel, who will showcase his oil paintings and offer a meet-and-greet.

Patio 29 Spirits Co. will feature mixed-media artist Cathie James-Robinson, known for her vibrant paintings and clay sculptures inspired by local wildlife.

Hotel Winters will present the whimsical collage work of Amy Mac, with prints, originals, cards, and totes available for purchase.

Turkovich Family Wines brings homegrown talent with Rosanne Seitz, a local watercolorist whose plein air paintings are inspired by the rural landscapes of Yolo County.

Berryessa Gap’s Tasting Room will host the River City Critique Group, showcasing a variety of works from multiple artists.

Hooby’s Brewing will feature Dori Marshall Fine Art, with mixed media and small abstract paintings inspired by the elemental connection between sea, sky, and earth.

Additional artwork will be displayed at Putah Creek Café and Fine Eye Art Gallery, making for a full afternoon of discovery.

Maps will be available at each stop to help guests navigate the Art Stroll route. Most venues will offer themed drink specials, and visitors are encouraged to take their time, meet the artists, and shop for original works.

The event is free to attend, and art and beverages will be available for purchase. The Second Saturday Art & Wine Stroll runs monthly from May through October, offering a dynamic way to support the arts and experience the unique charm of Winters.

Come for the wine, stay for the art — and leave inspired.
