Calling all artists!

Communities flourish when artists live and interact within them, creating a symbiotic relationship that boosts local economies, enhances social cohesion, and strengthens civic identity. Integrated artists transform neighborhoods by providing inspiration, fostering inclusivity, and driving economic growth through tourism and local spending. Whether you paint, carve, make jewelry, or play music, we want to showcase your talent!

Key benefits of artists living and engaging in their communities include:

• Economic Impact: The arts, including local, rural, and urban initiatives, contribute to the economy, employing residents, and attracting visitors who spend on local, arts-focused tourism.

• Social and Cultural Revitalization: Art projects foster a sense of community, empowerment, and unity, giving a voice to residents.

• Active Engagement: Artists act as community leaders and architects, often organizing events, murals, and workshops that strengthen civic participation.

Research indicates that when creativity is deeply embedded in the daily life of a community, it fosters a more, vibrant, and resilient, and, connected, area. Let's help build the community together.

The Aberdeen Art Walk, seeks to partner with local and regional artists, to showcase our collective talent, inject energy into the community, and continue to curate the culture of our very talented town. Artists will be partnered with a local business, to showcase a gallery of their art.

One artist per location is preferred. Each location will showcase you as their featured artists. You, in turn, present your work. 6-20+ pieces, or music, you choose what is for sale, the prices, and speak directly to the patrons and buyers. The participating businesses are not obliged to any commission, or fees and there is no fee for the artist's participation. This is a win/win partnerships, creating a better sense of community and connection to the arts.

For musicians, we will help place you at locations throughout the walk, to facilitate a fun, engaging atmosphere.

Let's meet and support each other! After all, we're all in this together.
