New for the 2024 Art-A-Whirl: Art Passports on Parade, a Chance to Win $500 Worth of Art
Monday, April 29, 2024 at 1:38PMCollecte 10 or more stamps to be entered into a drawing for $500 worth of art from a participating Art Passports on Parade artist of your choice.
Every year Art-A-Whirl draws over 40K visitors to the NE Arts District, which has ranked as the best, or one of the 10 best, art districts for a number of years by the US Today Readers Choice Awards. For 2024, non-profit Art to Change the World (ACW) is introducing Art Passports on Parade - an opportunity to visit artists who belong to ACW in their studios during Art-A-Whirl, May 17-19.
How Art Passports on Parade works:
Pick up a free Art Passport at the new ACW office and meeting space at 699 Lowry Ave NE (follow the ACW signs to the upper level), or from one of the participating artists. There will only be 100 Art Passports so be sure to get yours early!
Next, you will visit at least 10 of the participating ACW artists in Solar Arts, The Casket Building, The Carriage House, The California Building, The Northrup King Building and Flux Arts to see their work, interact with the artist, scope out what work you might choose if you win and have them stamp your Art Passport. Most artists will also host activities in their studios.
Participating Artists: Anna Karena, Frances Bates, Josh Blanc, Madeline (Lin) Boemer, Barbara Bridges, Rose Cooper, Rebecca David, Marko Fields, Kelly Frankenberg, Sara Hanson, Paul Kellett, Candy Kuehn, Layl McDill, Natalie McGuire, Catherine A. Palmer, Debra Ripp, Lucienne "Lucy" Schroepfer, and Sadie Ward.
Finally, Passports must be dropped off at the Flux Arts/ACW World Headquarters to be entered in the drawing. The winner will be notified by May 26, 2024.
Getting Around:
If you're driving, find parking on Monroe Street. Be aware that construction will be happening in the area.
Not driving? A free shuttle driven by Eric Boyum of Boyum Enlightening Art Services will loop around from Lowry/Monroe to Solar Arts and the Carriage House at Casket Arts Building all three days. Once you are at Casket Arts, it will plug you into the Art-A-Whirl trolly route. Click here for map.
