2.The city will not accept an Artist without a picture or sketch and brief description of the proposed 2025 street painting image being submitted with the Artist Application. If you are doing a reproduction (your own work or work of another artist) you must submit a copy of the image along with a copy of your original sketch with the Artist Application.

 5.THE CITY WILL NOT ACCEPT INCOMPLETE ARTIST APPLICATIONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

The City, by and through the Street Painting Festival Committee, reserves the right to deem any submitted subject matter as inappropriate.

The City has the final determination regarding any proposed artistic image or artwork and is responsible for establishing the overall message to be communicated via the Street Painting Festival. Any non-compliance with any of the rules may result in immediate removal of the artwork from the festival. The submission of the artist application acknowledges the artist’s agreement to comply with these rules and regulations, and the artist’s acknowledgement that the City has final approval over the artistic image, rendering or artwork and may determine that is not appropriate for the festival either prior to or during the festival.

APPLICATION PROCESS: The Application process begins November. The Artist Applicants will be notified regarding their acceptance no later than February 7th, 2025.

The City will accept any Artists who provide a sponsor for the artwork, provided that the Artist complies with all the rules of participation set forth herein.
