Go for an artful promenade and take in a wide array of artwork, music and dance amid the downtown skyline. Sponsored by Capital One Bank, the Bayou City Art Festival is ranked as one of the “top festivals” in the country by AmericanStyle magazine. With her Swimmer Series, Jeannie Maddox is this year’s featured artist. Also, look for the CultureMap booth.
