*** Registration for the 2016 FAW is now closed ***

The Art Walk registration form is online! Please read the following carefully so that you have all information necessary to complete the form. Contact the Art Walk Coordinator or Registrar if you have any questions.

Requirements & Qualifications

Please ensure that your venue and artists all comply with the following:

  • The venue must be within the area bounded by Victoria, Krug, Lancaster and East (outlined with green dots in the map)  and within walking distance of the other venues.  This is approximately the boundary of the Central Frederick Neighbourhood. If you do not have a venue within this area, then you are not eligible.
  • All forms of art and craft are welcome, but all art work must be your own, original and handcrafted/created by the artist. All rights to the work must be owned by the artist. Adjunct items (such as decorative props) must clearly be an addition to the original art work.
  • All venues 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.
    •  
  • Attendance is required at 2 meetings; one in May and one after the Art Walk in November. If your house is unable to fully participate in the work or the meetings, then this co-operative tour is not for you. 
  • Individual artists are responsible for collecting and remitting their own harmonized sales tax, and acquiring any permits that may be necessary. See www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/gst-tps/gnrl/menu-eng.html for more information.
Please note. The FAW Committee will usually only communicate with the venue's main contact, not individual artists. It is the responsibility of the main contact to relay information to the artists, represent the artists, and collect their information.

3. General questions to help us with the event:

  1. Do you or any artist in your house have any media contacts to help us promote and advertise the walk? What are they?
  2. Do you or any artist in your house have any specific technical skills to help us setup and/or execute all tasks required for a successful walk? What are these skills?
  3. Do you have room at your venue to host any additional, "homeless" artists (i.e. people who would like to participate as artists but who do not have a host house)? If yes, how many?
