BIG BIG NEWS 📣

For the past year, there’s been a little corner inside The Balkan that we’ve quietly loved watching grow.

Those little market cubbies started filling up with things created by people right here in our community. And along the way, we started meeting the people behind them.

Artists. Makers. Creators. Small businesses.

We watched their work come in, watched customers discover it, and watched some incredibly talented people take a chance on putting something they created out into the world.

And somewhere along the way, we started thinking…

They deserve more than a cubbie.

We know how much Pittsburg supports its own. We’ve experienced that support ourselves over and over again. So we started dreaming about what it might look like to give these makers a space of their own—a place where their work could really be seen, where we could tell their stories, and where our community could intentionally shop and support them.

And when a space became available right next door to The Balkan, the answer felt pretty obvious.

What better place than Broadway?

So we’re incredibly excited to introduce…

MARKET ON BROADWAY

A curated shop filled with local makers, artists and creators alongside Pittsburg and PSU-inspired goods, gifts, plants, home finds and a collection of things we simply think belong here.

Some things will be made just a few blocks away. Others will be carefully selected by us. But the heart of the Market will always be the people and the community that inspired it.

We aren’t looking to fill shelves. We’re building a collection.

And those little cubbies inside The Balkan?

Turns out they were the beginning of something much bigger.

Coming soon… keep watching for the grand opening of the new Market Space!

MEET ME ON BROADWAY.

THANK YOU, PITTSBURG. ❤️

Putting on an outdoor event the size of Pittsburg ArtWalk takes months of planning, countless moving parts and many volunteer hours. Our volunteers give time away from families, jobs and businesses to make it happen.

And sometimes, it’s just plain HOT. 😅🔥

Yesterday was one of those days. Between the extreme heat, Homecoming, the Hispanic Music Festival, Festa Italiana, the PSU game and so much more happening, you had a lot of choices.

You still showed up!

A kid made something they’ll cherish. An artist made a first sale. Friends reconnected. Someone tried something new and someone else left inspired. Those moments are what ArtWalk is about.

A HUGE thank you to our ArtWalk Board & volunteers, PHS JAG students, Pittsburg Area Young Professionals, City of Pittsburg, Kansas , Explore Crawford County , Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce for the Downtown Pittsburg, Kansas Mural ribbon cutting, and everyone who helped plan, set up, problem-solve and tear down.

Thank you to our artists, community organizations, performers, musicians, and food & beverage vendors who make ArtWalk one of a kind. Special thanks to The Pitt for providing FREE cold water on such a hot day. ❤️

This year marks 20 YEARS of Pittsburg ArtWalk.

Roger made a point that stuck with us: There are 20-year-olds in Pittsburg who have never known their community without ArtWalk.

For their entire lives, downtown streets have become galleries. Musicians play on sidewalks. Artists put their work into the world. Kids make a mess, draw & paint in the streets. Being a little weird, unconventional or wildly creative isn’t just accepted—it’s celebrated.

Twenty years of that leaves an imprint.

ArtWalk brings people to the heart of Pittsburg, supports artistic commerce, gives emerging artists and musicians a place to begin, connects neighbors and fosters creativity.

Some ArtWalks are enormous, some smaller. Some have perfect weather—and some make us question outdoor events in Kansas. 😂🔥

But every ArtWalk matters.

Long after the tents come down, those individual experiences remain.

That is the legacy of Pittsburg ArtWalk—20 years of making space for art, creativity & each other.

Thank you for continuing to show up. ❤️
