General FAQ

  • All ages! Seriously… we have activities, exhibits, and events that would interest ages 1 to 101! We see families, kids, teenagers, college students, people out for girls night or date night, and more.

  • FREE! There is no admission fee and most of our activities and events are free to the public. Of course, we’d love you to shop with our exhibiting artists, food vendors, and local stores, but that’s up to you!

  • Stay tuned to our social media pages (Facebook and Instagram) for any day-of changes. If at all possible, we will continue to have the event and move all artists and activities into Downtown Conway buildings. We will cancel only if the circumstances are deemed unsafe, such as a tornado or ice storm.

  • It is in the historic downtown shopping district of Conway, Arkansas. Most of the event takes place outside, but our main inside venue is located at 1100 Oak Street, which is a great place to start!

  • There is a variety of parking around Downtown Conway. You can park anywhere except those lots marked as private parking. US Bank has accessible parking available to the public after 5:00 pm.

  • Yes! Our outside activities are situated far enough apart to allow for wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers. Our inside activities have accessible entrances – if you can’t find it, feel free to ask anyone with an Art Walk shirt on! Click the link below for our Accessibility Guide.

Applications FAQ

  • Exhibiting artists set up a booth and/or table to promote and sell their artwork during the event. There is a $25 fee per month for exhibiting artists. We have a limited number of slots for demo artists each month, ideally related to our monthly theme. Demo artists will set up and agree to demonstrate their art during the event and talk with visitors about their process. There is no fee for demo artists.

  • Go to the Artist Application on this page and click on the link. Fill out the application in full. Our artist selection committee will review your application and get back to you with further instructions.

  • Go to the Artist Application on this page and click on the link. Fill out the application in full. In the open comment box, let us know you would like to be considered for demonstration, and let us know what you would like to demo. Our staff will get back to you after that.

  • You will get an email either letting you know you have not been accepted, or an email with instructions on how to register.

  • Go to the Musician Application on this page and click the link. Fill out the application in full. Our music selection committee will review all applications and get back with you. Keep in mind that we only select 2-3 music performers/groups per event and we strive to present a variety of musical influences throughout the season.

  • We are a small nonprofit run by a small team of staff and volunteers – it takes time to process through everything. Depending on the time of your application, it could take a few weeks for us to get back to you. Starting with May 2025, applications must be received by the 1st of the month prior to the event you are wishing to attend. For example, if you want to have an exhibiting artist table for June 2025, we need your application by May 1.
