2020 Keller Art Walk Call for Plein Air Artists

The Keller Public Arts Board will host the fourth annual Keller Art Walk on November 14, 2020 in the city's Old Town area. The Board is seeking six artists to paint or sculpt during the event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Selected plein air artists will receive a $150 honorarium, free booth space for displaying and selling additional work, and promotion on the event website, Facebook page, and on-site signage. Booth space includes optional set up and tear down of a 10 x 10 canopy. Artists will be expected to work in their booth space, viewable to the public, for the duration of the event, excluding reasonable breaks. Artwork created during the event must be appropriate for public viewing and support the family-friendly atmosphere of the City of Keller.

The Keller Art Walk is an arts and music festival designed to give local artists an affordable opportunity to showcase their work while attracting people to experience Keller's arts and entertainment district. The event will also feature a kid zone, live music, and vendors. Artists not selected as plein air artists may participate with a regular paid vendor spot.

Eligibility: Artists must reside in Texas and all works must be original. Application requirements include a résumé, artist statement (maximum 1000 words describing media and work to be done during the event), and 2-5 jpeg images of work samples. The selection process will be juried by the Keller Public Arts Board. Contact: [email protected] or 817-743-4000.
