Get Ready to Submit Student Work to the 2011Festival ARTwalk: A World of Surprises!

The ARTwalk is a month-long exhibition of young artist's artwork in downtown Saint Paul. It is a unique opportunity for schools and community organizations to highlight the visual arts achievements of young people. As a part of the Flint Hills International Children's Festival, the ARTwalk celebrates young artists’ creativity from across the region. Last year over 600 submissions from around the region were featured. Given the ARTwalk is a non-juried exhibition; participants are encouraged to be selective in their entries.

Entries can be submitted on a class, group or individual basis.

All artwork must be delivered by February 28.  

The ARTwalk will be on display May 6 through June 6, 2011.
