Tigard ArtWalk 2017
Hosted by the Tigard Downtown Alliance
Downtown Tigard's Annual Art Walk invites artists and residents to meet on Main Street and explore the creative side of Tigard. A key component of this special event is the participation of artists who want to bring their talent out of the studio and gallery and on to the street.

Visual artists in all mediums including, but not limited to, acrylic, oil, watercolor, photography, metal, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and glass are eligible.

There are two ways artists can participate in the event. Artists have the option of applying to be one of ten Featured Artists or being included in the pop up gallery, where artists can display their art and sell it for a small commission. All applications will be reviewed by a committee. 
ARTIST PARTICIPATION
Featured Artists
Ten artists will be chosen to be featured in ten downtown Tigard businesses. Artists will be paired with a local business who will feature pieces of art the two weeks prior to the Tigard ArtWalk. These art pieces will be included in a juried contest with a cash prize. Featured artists will be hosted on Friday evening by their local business in a Meet the Artists event.

On Saturday, artists will be given an area in front of their local business. There they will create an art piece live during Artists in Action. Artists are welcome to sell their art during this time as well. Artists must provide their own tent and any additional display materials and volunteers for their area. Featured artists may also participate in the pop up gallery.  There is a $25 non-refundable application fee to apply to be a featured artist.

Pop Up Gallery Artist
Artists can apply to contribute art pieces to the Pop Up Gallery on Saturday, May 13th from 12-5pm. Commission of 20% will be charged for art sold.
