2024 Sidney Art Walk

Participants of the 2024 Sidney Art Walk will have the opportunity to provide feedback to ArtSea about their experience! Please take a moment to fill out the short survey, which will help to inform future ArtSea programs and ensure that we are doing our best to serve our members and our community.

• Artwork must be in good physical condition and ready to hang/display (this includes hanging wires securely attached to 2D Artwork).
• Artwork must be original, recently produced artworks by ArtSea Members who are residents of Southern Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands.
• 2D and 3D work must be appropriate in colour and size and reasonable to set up for display in a retail location.
• All artwork must have the following information on the back or included with the work: artist’s name, phone number, title, size and medium.
• Artists will supply tags for their work, including: title of artwork, artist name, contact information (email, phone number, social media links – according to artist preference), medium, dimensions.
• Artists will supply a clean, legible and computer-printed copy of their professional biography to display with their work. The retail establishment that is displaying artwork will not be responsible for answering questions about artwork or participating artists, so this document is an opportunity to share information with the community.
• Purchasers will contact the artist directly and the artist will arrange for the purchaser to collect the artwork after the conclusion of the event, at a location that is suitable to the artist (please note: out of respect for the retail establishment that has been kind enough to display your work, please do not meet customers or conduct sales at the retail location displaying your artwork).
• Artists and subsequent artwork are selected by the ArtSea Art Walk Committee. Artwork is placed in retail locations that are selected by the Art Walk Committee. Since adjudicating artwork and finding the best match with retail locations is a complex process, these decisions are final.
• Artists are responsible for the delivery of their work to a specified location, at a prearranged time.
• Artists are responsible to promptly collect their artwork at the conclusion of the Sidney Art Walk event, at a pre-arranged time.
• Participating artists must have a current ArtSea Membership.
• There are no registration fees or artist commissions for the Sidney Art Walk.
• ArtSea and the SBIA assume no responsibility to loss, damage, or theft of artwork while it is on display as part of the Sidney Art Walk event; it is up to each artist to ensure that their work is insured according to their own preferences.
• ArtSea is pleased to offer this opportunity to local artists and artisans to present work in the community. Please direct all questions and comments about the program to the ArtSea team, rather than to participating retail locations. You are welcome to email admin@artsea.ca. And remember to show respect and gratitude to the local establishments that are providing retail space to display your work! 🙂
