Call to Artists<\/p>\n
The Kent Downtown Partnership (KDP) is seeking artists to participate in the 2020 Art Walk series. This is a free community event, open to all ages.<\/p>\n
Art Walks are on third Thursdays, June to September, 5 to 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
• KDP is looking for talented artists with a variety of price-points, mediums and focuses. Fine artists and those who make handmade goods are welcome to apply.<\/p>\n
• Priority will be given to those who apply early, and those whose art and product closely fits in with the vision of the Art Walk.<\/p>\n
• Artists will be provided with a space to represent and sell their work at one or more of these monthly events. Some artists will be paired with a local business, others given space in common areas in Downtown Kent; all artists must provide their own table and\/or fixtures. Outdoor spaces will be available; weather dependent.<\/p>\n
• Artists are required to be completely set-up in their space by 5 p.m. on event nights and remain until the event closes at 8 p.m. Dates can be found in the application.<\/p>\n
• Artists in action! KDP is looking for art production, demonstrations and art making onsite is also desired.<\/p>\n
• Artists are responsible for handling their own sales, whether cash or card.<\/p>\n
