VIBES - first Thursdays (April-Oct) 5-9 p.m.
A program of the Edmond Fine Arts Institute, VIBES emerged from a brainstorm of local leaders in 2020 seeking to create a new art walk event series with a creative spin. Participating businesses are paired up with local visual or performing artists. Attendees can visit shops and restaurants, which are open later for the event, to enjoy the art and get a taste of what downtown Edmond has to offer. The VIBES Visa Challenge is new for the 2022 season. Pick up a free VIBES Visa Task Card from participating downtown businesses and complete any number of tasks like visiting an artist and business, making a purchase, and posting on social media using the hashtag #VIBESVISA. Each completed task equals an entry into a drawing for monthly prize packages including gift cards to downtown businesses, artwork created by VIBES artists, and VIBES merchandise.
