Frederick Art Walk - 2011 Artist Registration Info for November 12, 2011.

Information below is for the 2011 registration process.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR 2011 !

Welcome to the Frederick Art Walk Registration!  We are excited to invite Artists and Craftspeople to participate. The Frederick Art Walk is a community event.  It is not just about selling arts and crafts; it is also about working together and bringing people into our neighbourhood and homes.  Please keep that in mind as you consider being a part of the tour.
 

NOTE: Our registration process is described below.  Please read carefully!!

There are  some important qualifications and requirements for joining the Art Walk:

  1. The venue for your work must be within the Central Frederick Neighbourhood boundaries, and within walking distance of the other venues.  This is approximately the area bounded by Victoria, Krug, Lancaster and East.
  2. All artists must participate in the preparation and/or clean up of the Art Walk (putting up signs, distributing pamphlets, etc).  Jobs will be assigned when you register.  If your house is unable to fully participate in the work, then this tour is not for you. 
  3. All forms of art and craft are welcome, but the majority of your pieces must be original / handcrafted by the artist (versus imported or mass produced) and all rights to the work must be owned by the artist.
  4. Individual artists are responsible for collecting and remitting their own harmonized sales tax, and acquiring any permits that may be necessary. See  http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/english/taxes/rst/  for more information.

Registering is a TWO-PART Process.  Please read the following instructions carefully.
