K-W Central Art Walk

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!

If you are an artist living in the areas bordered by Park, Victoria, Weber, and Union streets, and want to be part of the community, please join us this year. If you are from outside that area, but have a friend who lives in our location, consider asking them to host for you and other artists!

The K-W Central Art Walk is a team effort. Artists that are accepted will be expected to do their part in distributing posters and brochures in a timely manner. We expect artists to also be involved in decisions regarding details of the art walk. We also expect artists to attend at least 2 meetings, one of which will be the follow-up in November so we can debrief. We are hoping to turn that meeting into a fun event.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a participant of the K-W Central Art Walk. Please complete the following application and submit as per the instructions below.
