Riverdale Art Walk – Outdoor Art Show & Sale Submission

EARLY-BIRD SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 7, 2016

ABOUT THE RIVERDALE ART WALK

Riverdale Art Walk is a two-day, public fine art exhibition showcasing established and emerging artists in Jimmie Simpson Park in Toronto’s flourishing Queen East arts district. The first outdoor art show of Toronto’s season, participating artists are selected through an anonymous jury process, allowing an opportunity to participate in the only outdoor art show that focuses ONLY on fine art. It has consistently been rated by local artists as one of the best organized show in Toronto.

In fact, with our intensive orientation session and strong artists support, 96% of RAW artists indicated overall communications “Best Ever” or “Better than Average’, you don’t want to miss this show!

NEW THIS YEAR Indoor space available in Jimmie Simpson Community Centre! Over the past few years, we have had artists request indoor space. This year, we have secured space in the Jimmie Simpson Community Centre for a limited number of artists. You will be sheltered from the weather and will not have to pack and unpack your art at the end of each day. We will heavily promote and direct visitors to both indoor and outdoor booths.
