THINGS TO DO Arts

Discover Tualatin’s diverse public art through the Tualatin ArtWalk , a self-guided tour through the heart of the city. See sculptures, murals, mosaic drinking fountains, and garden art while learning about Tualatin’s history along the way. Spend half an hour or a whole afternoon on the several interconnected trails that comprise nearly six miles of ArtWalk. Each trail is clearly marked— look for the map kiosks to determine the route and watch for the colorful trail markers leading the way to an enjoyable adventure discovering Tualatin's art, natural and cultural history.

Feeling inspired to create but don’t have the tools you need? Drop by Tualatin Public Library’s Makerspace and get your build on! The Makerspace is where art intersects with innovation. Learn how to design cool contraptions, work with robots, create your own 3D print or woodworking. This is a place to try out new tools, learn new techniques and share ideas with other makers in the Tualatin community. Let’s play, learn, and create together!
