Art Walk Edmonds’ second annual Wreath Walk scheduled for November 18th through December 16th
Edmonds, WA, September 21, 2021 – Last year, when pandemic restrictions were in effect, Art Walk Edmonds started a new tradition for the downtown Edmonds of hanging original, artist-designed and decorated wreaths in select storefronts during the holiday season. It was a smashing success, and Art Walk Edmonds is continuing this tradition this year!
For this event to happen, talented artists are needed to design a wreath. Are you up for the challenge?
AWE Wreath Details:
- Artists who are interested in participating need to apply by October 1st with a concept and description for a wreath. (A sketch would be helpful). Application is online at https://www.artwalkedmonds.com/wreath-walk-edmonds
- Wreaths should be festive, but not necessarily holiday-themed. They do need to be family-friendly. No political themes, please. Feel free to think outside the “wreath” and design using your own unique style. Wreath materials must be non-perishable.
- Wreaths will all be 24” in circumference. Art Walk Edmonds will provide the wreath base. You, as the artist, will need to choose from a base of faux evergreen, grapevine, or straw (pictures down below).
- Art Walk Edmonds will jury wreath concepts and let artists know if their wreath has been chosen by October 8th.
- Art Walk Edmonds will match each artist’s wreath with a location in downtown Edmonds for hanging.
- Each approved artist will get a stipend of $150 to help cover costs of the wreath that the artist designs. (A check will be sent to the artist once wreath has been hung.)
- Wreaths must be completed and hung NO LATER than November 18th. Please provide a picture of the wreath on a neutral background for the website.
- AWE encourages the wreath artist to be in attendance for the November 18th and the December 16th Art Walk Edmonds (5-8pm) to talk about their wreath, their artwork, and to help promote the online wreath auction.
- Every wreath will include a biography and contact information for the wreath’s artist to be hung by the wreath.
- A picture of the wreath, location, and biography will be included on the Art Walk Edmonds website.
- All wreaths will become the property of Art Walk Edmonds and will be auctioned off during the month they are hanging.
