The Paseo Arts District is a thriving area in Oklahoma City. Today a vibrant group or artists with a substantial involvement and support from the community continues to build The Paseo Arts District into one of the most creative art venues in the country. It is now home to 17 galleries and more than 60 artists. There are also restaurants, a coffee house, clothing boutique, gift shop, yoga studio and other businesses. The Paseo hosts many exciting events throughout the year. The most popular would have to be the Paseo First Friday Gallery Walk which is held the first Friday and Saturday of every month.
What drives most people to the Paseo is not only the art but also the atmosphere. The Paseo has a certain spirit that is always present, especially in the people that frequent the area. They are always friendly, somewhat eccentric and very fun to be around. In my photo essay, I really strove to capture the this spirit and demonstrate just what makes this area so special.

Cake anyone?
Good art and good company go hand-in-hand.
Live music adds to the ambiance.

Anytime you're in the area, I highly suggest you check out the Paseo Arts Disrtict. It's a great place for new experiences and to check out some great art. I really enjoyed working on this project and getting to meet new people, especially the artists. I'll definitely be returning to the Paseo whenever I can.
