CONNECTING WITH A HOSTING LOCATION

Artists, performers, and creatives of all kinds showcase their work at Arts Walk by partnering with a downtown location. Each year, over a hundred businesses and organizations participate along with many newcomers. To take part, they need talent to feature, quite possibly yours if you reach out to make a connection.
Here are some tips for those looking where to start.

Find businesses or organizations that would be complementary to your work - and vice versa.
Look for things such as a thematic alignment, a good aesthetic fit, and the potential to attract a shared audience.

Make your connection.

Email, call, or arrange to stop by in person to see if the location is interested in hosting you for Arts Walk. Be sure to include helpful details such as your artistic style and medium, a sample of your work, and any plans or accommodations needed for your exhibition.

Finalize your match and hash out any additional details with your host.
Once partnered up, it’s a good idea to agree on some expectations:
  • How much or little involvement are you planning on having during the run of the event? Will you be present the entire time? Are you or the business interested in expanding the attraction by adding things such as technique demostrations, Q&A’s, interactive projects, or other time-specific events?
  • Are you hoping to sell works during your event? If so, what will the process of those transactions look like?
  • Where and how will your work be featured in the space? Are there any limitations either party needs to know about? When will it go up and when will it go down?
The hosting location will include all the details when submitting their registration form.
