ince the event began in 2017, the Malverne Chamber of Commerce’s annual Art Walk has become one of the village’s most popular events. This year, more than 100 works of art created by Long Island artists, professionals as well as hobbyists, were on display in numerous village businesses when the Chamber kicked off its fourth annual Art Walk in June. Members of the chamber saw this event as a way a benefit the merchants, residents and amateur artists. The exhibition, which was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, features artists of all ages throughout different parts of Long Island and New York, ranging from photographs to sculptures, paintings, pencil drawings and more. Much of the art is also for sale. While it is one of the village’s newest traditions, the Art Walk is one of many ways that the Chamber of Commerce draws interest to the village.
