This application is for professional or emerging artists wishing to participate in Art Walk Edmonds. AWE is a free month-long event, with third Thursday Art Walks where artists meet the public from 5-8pm. Numerous downtown Edmonds businesses participate. Many businesses book their artists well ahead of time. Each business will have their own commission structure and will vary in how long the art can be left up at their location. AWE is good for both the businesses and the artist, builds goodwill, and gets your work out and your name known in the community. We encourage you to have your art ready to hang, show and sell, and to have a business license.
Your application and artwork will be reviewed for possible inclusion in the AWE artists database. Inclusion in the database does not guarantee that a business will contact you to participate, so we also encourage artists to reach out to businesses where they would like to show their work.
When applying, please check the box indicating that you also agree to receive news and updates in order to receive communications from us.
The Artist Outreach committee will review applications on a monthly basis. Once approved your link and contact information will be added to our database as a resource for businesses wishing to host an artist's work within their business.
