ALEXANDRIA Sifuentes said: "I had the best experience of my life!!! It was my first visiting the VTX Art Walk and I am so glad I went to the event on my own. I saw great art pieces from different vendors, I listened to great music from more than one vendor and I got to say the singers and the way they played their instruments were fantastic. Every vendor has the most talented artists and musicians I had visited!!! Hoped they keep it up next year!!!"
