HOW WE DEFINE ART:
Art is the process or product of deliberately and creatively arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. DVI considers the following media as art for this event: paintings, photography, pottery, handmade accessories, jewelry, sculpture, and mixed media. DVI has the right to decline artists at any time.
•Pieces must display a high level of originality and craftsmanship.
•Art (especially jewelry) must be significantly handmade and go beyond simple assembly of readily available/premade components.
•Pieces must be substantively original and not assembled from kits or commercially available patterns.
APPROVED TO EXHIBIT AT ART WALK:
•Only artists displaying their original work are eligible to participate. Please note this is an art-focused event with the only commercial focus being the sale of the work of the artists.
•All art is subject to review and approval.
•Prints of paintings created by the artist are permissible.
•Live art exhibits may be approved: artist must be responsible for all supplies needed and must keep area clean during and after event.
•If approved, only items listed on your application can be exhibited.

**Please note that there is a limited number of artists that we can accept per year.**
