Image Questions

Do I have to turn in photos of my work to get an artist page on ArtWalk on the Bay's website?
Yes. Without photos (or images) of your work your application will not be processed and your images will not appear on the ArtWalk on the Bay webpage.

Why do you need images of my work?
All artists are juried into the event based on whether or not their artwork meets the requirements of this fine art festival. The jury process depends on viewing of your images.

How many images will appear on my ArtWalk on the Bay artist page?
The number of images you receive on your ArtWalk on the Bay artist page depends on how you register. Individual artists may have up to five images on the ArtWalk on the Bay artist page. The number of tents purchased by a group determines how many images they receive on their group artists’ page.

When is the deadline for turning in images?
The deadline for guaranteed webpage completion before the event is July 10, 2009 . After this date, ArtWalk on the Bay completes web pages on a continual basis as time permits. No application are processed without images of your artwork.
