ARTWalk is an annual collaboration between Tower poets and local Carnegie Gallery artists as one of the many Arts Dundas festivities in early November. The Carnegie Gallery initiated this project in the early 1990s as a means of extending art and poetry into community life.

Art Walk 2020 featured a booklet of art and poems produced by the Carnegie Gallery. In addition, TPS member Nicola Schneider made a video of the 2020 ARTWalk poetry and art displays

Below are samples from ART Walk 2020.

The annual ARTWalk collaboration begins early in the autumn when Tower poets seek inspiration from artworks on exhibit in the Carnegie Gallery in downtown Dundas, Ontario. During Arts Dundas Week, the resulting paired poems and art are on display in storefront windows along King St. West for public enjoyment.
