Guidelines for Exhibiting

In order to ensure a high standard for artworks, the Fibre Art Show is a juried show. 

 General Information for Fibre Artists:

• ArtWalk is open to all artists residing in the Okanagan.
• All entries must be original pieces of artistic merit and will be judged by a committee.
• The term fibre art includes wearable art and wall pieces (2D and 3D). Quilted entries must consist of 2 – 3 layers and be quilted either by hand, machine, or a combination.
• Please list 5 to 10 works for judging. They should be an indication of the type and quality of your work. The jury will consider works that are in progress.
• The jury committee will consider the following criteria when reviewing applications:
  • originality
  • innovative use of materials
  • composition
  • technical skill
  • effective imagery
  • quality of application presentation
• Entries must not have been exhibited at previous ArtWalk shows.

The fee for exhibiting fibre art at ArtWalk 2022 is $5.00 per item exhibited, to a maximum fee of $50 per artist or art group. This fee is payable by cheque or e-transfer upon acceptance of works.

• Artists may offer their work for sale at ArtWalk
• All artists will pay a 10% commission of sales to ArtWalk
  You may handle your own sales or you may use one of our two central sales tables. If you are handling your own transactions, we trust you to report your sales accurately and remit the applicable commission within one week following the event.
• If your entry is not for sale, please indicate 'NFS' on the entry form
• If you are accepted into ArtWalk, the number of pieces exhibited may be limited due to space constraints
• The works listed in your application form allow the jury to review the merits of your work. Recognizing that artists could create new works between the application date and the event, you may exhibit work not listed on your application
• If the works brought to ArtWalk do not meet the quality standard on which you were juried in, the Committee reserves the right to remove those works or ask you to replace them. 
• If accepted to the show, you will complete an Artist Exhibition Agreement and submit a final list of works by August 5, 2022. You may also submit a short artist statement for any piece, which will be typed and printed for display by ArtWalk.
• Jurying will be complete and accepted artists will be notified by mid July.
• Artists must be available for set-up at a specified time on Friday, September 9, 2022 and for their scheduled time during the event.  Artists in the past have found it valuable to stay with their work and interact with visitors during the two day event.
