Trip Planner
Here are some of our recommendations to make your visit a pleasant one: Bring comfortable walking shoes; happy feet make happy visitors! Come with a sense of adventure, an open mind, and a "Treasure Hunt" approach to discovering our district. Best days of the week to visit: last Fridays of every month for the Valley Arts District Art Loop from 6pm to 9pm (Call ValleyArts - 973-674-0183 - to schedule a guided tour). If you want to visit Private Artist Studios on different days, please call ahead. If you cannot find your way, be on the lookout for the orange Valley Arts District banners hanging from poles.
