The City of Gretna, in collaboration with the Gretna Art Walk, invites you to apply to our Annual Fine Art Evening Festival celebrating a Victorian Christmas.

 

The Festival will be held Saturday, December 7, 2024, in beautiful downtown Gretna on Huey P. Long Avenue under the marketplace from 5:00 - 9:00 pm. The Festival will give patrons from across the area an evening to meet, interact, and conduct business with artists, creating an outdoor gallery against the dramatic backdrop of our quaint city.

 

This is a juried show of two-dimensional art only, not including photography, created by the individual artist. The show will be limited to 40 artists. Only one artist is allowed per space and the artist must be present. Originals and reproductions are allowed, both framed and unframed. Each artist must provide their own equipment for set-up (tables, screens, browse boxes, additional lighting, etc.). The booth fee for a 10X10 space is $30.00. There is no jury fee and artists retain 100% of their sales, but are responsible for collecting and reporting their own taxes.

 

The application deadline is October 25, 2024. Once accepted into the show, booth fees must reach the Festival by November 15, 2024. A submitted application is not a guarantee of acceptance. As part of your application you will be required to submit four color images of your current work. The Festival may limit the number of artists accepted in some categories in order to present a balanced show. Only work representative of that submitted for jurying may be exhibited. The Festival reserves the right to request the removal of any work that differs from the images submitted and accepted, as well as any inappropriate work or display. All decisions by the jury committee are final. Artists are encouraged to wear Victorian style or Christmas attire, but not required.

 

“Ringing In The Arts” is an opportunity to bring the best of fine arts to our historic town and to showcase your work and creativity to the public. Again, we are very excited about this yearʼs event and hope you will join us by applying.
