Calling all artists! 2nd Annual Newcastle Commons Art Walk July 23, 2022

Newcastle Arts Council in partnership with Avalon Newcastle Commons and Bishops Newcastle is organizing an art fair to be held at Avalon Newcastle Commons on Saturday, July 23, 2022. The mission of Newcastle Arts Council is to promote, support, and encourage the arts in the local Newcastle area as the organization works toward Making the Arts Come Alive in Newcastle.

As we navigate out of the pandemic we are excited again to offer opportunities to showcase the great creativity of artists in our community and provide an avenue for artists to receive the economic benefit of being able to sell items to the public at an organized event in our area.

Submissions should be sent to the Newcastle Arts Council e-mail address at [email protected]. Submissions must be received no later than June 5, 2022.

I know this would be a late submission, but I am an Afro-Contemporary artist, new to Seattle Artists.com. I was interested in showcasing my art at your Annual Art Walk. If there is anyway I can still work with you all I would love the opportunity.

 

Thank you!
