Theme Tampa Bay in the Future
Exhibitions Rules Images must reflect the artist’s innovative interpretation of the theme. Executed images should be consistent with the intent of the concept included in the Artist’s Application. Images must be family friendly. Application of this rule will be solely the discretion of the Chalk Walk Governing Committee. Artists with questions are encouraged to discuss plans with the Governing Committee before proceeding.
Sponsor Participation
Artists may work with a sponsor. Working with a sponsor would involve modifying the planned image to incorporate an image or concept, other than a logo, in the artist’s planned image. Artists interested in working with a sponsor would indicate their interest in the application. Selection of the artists to work with sponsors would be made by the Chalk Walk Committee, and would be solely at the option of the Committee. Artists would meet with a sponsor and resubmit their planned image to the Chalk Walk committee for review. Artists who work with Sponsors would have their application fee waived and would receive a $100 honorium.
Materials Amateur Artists will be provided 1 box of 48 color soft Koss pastels and professional artists will be provided 3 boxes. Any additional materials needed by the artist can be purchased by the artist for $10 per box, but that request must be included in the application.
