Participants sought for Lawrence ArtWalk

Artists are invited to participate in this year’s Lawrence ArtWalk, which is the annual self-guided tour of Lawrence artists’ studios and other art spaces.

The event, Oct. 27-28, will be the 13th year that artists will have the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work to the public from their own homes or studios (or a fellow artist’s) and to allow the public to meet them in person. In recent years, as many as 50 artists have exhibited their work at more than 30 locations in and around Lawrence.

Artists must be residents of Douglas County or have a Lawrence address for their studio or place of work, and display only their own original artwork. There are three categories of participation for artists: artist, whether participating solo or with others; studio with commercial gallery space, which includes production studios; and collective, which includes artists’ groups.

The registration deadline is June 15, and artists’ benefits include eligibility for the featured artist award and a page on the Lawrence ArtWalk Web site, which features artwork by previous years’ participants. For complete registration details, artists should refer to the registration form, which is available by request from Lawrence ArtWalk.
