Heart of Jasper is excited to announce a new feature for the upcoming Shop & Sip event — the Artist Walk. This addition will showcase the work of 10 talented local artists, with displays set up inside participating downtown stores.

The Artist Walk offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy a unique cultural experience while shopping and dining downtown. Guests can browse original artwork, meet the artists, and support local creativity — all while exploring Jasper’s vibrant retail and dining scene.
