Applications now accepted for 34th annual ArtWalk
By Contributor
The Nelson & District Arts Council (NDAC) is delighted to announce that the 34th annual ArtWalk will return to the businesses and streets of Nelson for a fully in-person experience featuring local artists, performers, and venues in 2022.
ArtWalk is an annual tradition that has united businesses, artists, and community members for over three decades. The event populates unique venues with quality, locally produced artwork which draws traffic to local businesses and increases the visibility of Nelson and area artists.
ArtWalk’s two opening nights (Friday, June 24th and Friday, July 29th) will showcase participating artists at their venues alongside a collection of street performances and other delights throughout Nelson’s downtown core from 6 – 9 p.m.
A new set of artists will have their work on display at each opening. After the openings, art will be available to view at the participating venues during their regular hours until Sunday, September 4th.
Professional and emerging artists alike are encouraged to apply for ArtWalk; not all applicants will be selected but priority will be given to artists showing recent work not previously exhibited at ArtWalk or other Nelson venues.
To support our community’s economic recovery from the pandemic, NDAC will continue to waive participation fees for artists and venues for the 2022 edition.
All interested artists or venues that want to participate in ArtWalk 2022 please head to www.ndac.ca/nelson-artwalk for an application form.
Applications are being accepted until Monday, April 18th at 5 p.m.
