ArtWalk 2025 applications for artists and venues are now open until Thursday, April 17th at 11:55pm.
Last year, ArtWalk 2024 was a smashing success and this year the Nelson & District Arts Council (NDAC) aims to make the 37th annual ArtWalk equally as vivid.
NDAC invites local businesses to become part of ArtWalk by transforming their walls into gallery spaces. This event enhances unique venues with high-quality, locally produced artwork, selected by business owners to complement their space and branding.
ArtWalk 2025 will feature two opening night, Saturday, June 27, and Saturday, August, where artists will engage with patrons at their venues. From 6 – 9 PM on these evenings, Nelson’s downtown core will come alive with street performances and other activations. Following each opening, artwork will remain on display at participating venues during their regular hours until Sunday, September 7.
A new group of artists will be featured at each opening.
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. NDAC continues to waive artist application fees to support our community’s continued recovery from the pandemic.
There is a $100 application fee for venues, however, to ensure accessibility, this fee can be waived if it poses a barrier to participation for small businesses.
If you are an artist or venue interested in participating in ArtWalk 2025 please head to https://ndac.ca/programs/artwalk/ for an application form.
Applications will close on Thursday, April 17th at 11:55pm.
