We are excited to announce that ARTWALK WILL BE MOVING TO NORTH MAPLE VALLEY THIS FALL!!!!
As you know, COVID impacted a number of local businesses causing some to reduce their hours of operation, including our ever faithful ArtWalk businesses and new sponsor, Eagle River Interiors. These changes also affected the amount of folks who had a chance to see all the great local work!
To better serve our local artists, we have been working with the City of Maple Valley's Public Arts Commission and Parks Department for exhibition space at the Lodge and the Windermere/City Hall building to secure space for more work by Member artists to be seen by more people and more often. In addition, we are excited to be able to utilize the Cedar To Green Rivers Trail for the "walking" component of ArtWalk in between locations and include our Paint By Tunnels projects as part of the event.
Our vision is to host TWO ArtWalks each year - late Spring and early Fall. Each ArtWalk will kick off with an opening reception at our Creative Arts Center (think food, beverages, and live music), followed by a walk on the Cedar to Green Rivers Trail to the next location of displayed ArtWalk art, and continuing on to the Lodge for the final segment of ArtWalk art. This new version of two ArtWalk shows per year will still require MVCAC Membership and MVCAC will continue to retain 25% of all sales.
Dates and details to come later this summer, including how to have your work exhibited in the new version of ArtWalk. We wanted to give you a heads up so you can plan accordingly and get the word out to your artist friends!
In the meantime, we hope you'll join us for Paint By Tunnels August 27-28.
