Showcasing both established and emerging artists, Riverdale ArtWalk is a two-day, juried, fine art–only outdoor exhibition presented by Artists’ Network. The fair is known for its strong artist support and thoughtful organization, creating a professional and welcoming experience for participating artists.

Accepted artists receive the Riverdale ArtWalk Artist Handbook, a comprehensive guide covering everything from setup and logistics to show expectations and on-site support. Artists are also invited to an orientation session and gain access to a private Riverdale ArtWalk Artists Facebook group for updates, community connection, and shared resources.

*This is fine art–only juried fair. Eligible work includes original visual art created by the exhibiting artist. Functional objects, commercially produced merchandise, and AI-generated imagery are not permitted.
