This is a great opportunity for fine artists to exhibit and sell original work to the public in their own studios, and to allow the public to meet them in person. It's also a chance to sell artwork early for seasonal gifts. In the past, many artists have also offered special demonstrations of their art and refreshments. Lawrence ArtWalks usually occur on a Big Blue Weekend, when thousands of people come to Lawrence for KU's home football game. Artist is encouraged to exhibit artwork with other artists to attract potentially more members of the public to their location.
Artist retains all proceeds from the sales of artwork.
Artist receives guide maps and invitation postcards to distribute to patrons, and also receives posters and a street sign. The guide map and web site also serve as year-round resource guides to Lawrence artists and galleries. New for 2001, there will be a preview exhibition of participants' artwork during the month of October at a downtown gallery and will feature an artists' reception. The deadline for registering is July 1, 2001. Only registrations received by the deadline will be guaranteed inclusion in the guide map and the web site's updated listing, which are scheduled to be made available by one month before this year's event.
