Art Around Every Corner

You don't have to wait for Art in the Park to find art around Martinez!


Take a walk through downtown and you'll find it in all sorts of places—murals, paintings, window art, sculptures, and other pieces tucked throughout the streets and storefronts.



Some are hard to miss. Others are the kind of thing you might walk past a dozen times before finally noticing them.


Art Around Downtown


One of the best ways to see it is simply to walk.


Start along Main Street, wander down the side streets, and don't forget to look in shop windows and down the occasional alley. There's no need for a formal route. Part of the fun is seeing what you come across.


And with Art in the Park just a week away, it's a good reminder that Martinez's art community isn't limited to one weekend. There's already plenty on display throughout downtown.


💡Downtown MTZ Tip


🎨 Take your time—and look up, down, and through the windows. Some of the most interesting pieces aren't necessarily the most obvious ones.


If you spot something you've never noticed before, take a photo and tag @DowntownMTZLive. I'd love to see what you find.
