Gallatin Arts Council

I will be at the Guilty Grind in Filly’s from 12pm to 4pm as a part of the Gallatin Art Crawl.

Make sure to stop by!

Gallatin Arts Council

Crawl, walk, run, or drive between venues , but by all means GO! *YOU* are the most important component in ensuring that local artists are seen, supported, and have the opportunity to continue making art.

Today's forecast: ART-FILLED!

We are so excited to showcase more than 20 unique, local artists at 12 amazing and generous local businesses today. Be sure to check out the posted map for specific locations, if you're looking to visit with a favorite artist. But we hope you'll make time to see all their work!

Our 2024 Art Crawl map is LIVE! The Art Crawl has expanded further down the road this year, so be sure to check out all the participating locations.

There is no specific order to visit; the stops are numbered only for clarity on the map. The Art Crawl is a self-guided tour of local businesses who are featuring local artists this Saturday. We are so grateful for a community that embraces Gallatin talent!

We're counting down the hours until the fun begins! We are delighted to report that this year has expanded to more than TWICE AS MANY artists as last year!! And we have had incredible local businesses volunteer to host them.

We had to make some last-minute adjustments to our artist location map, but it will be up SOON. Locations will be marked in person Saturday with balloons so they are easier to spot as you tour the area!

We look forward to seeing you there, and hope you support these fabulous local talents as they showcase their work!

Artists!

Would you like to be one of the featured participants in our 2024 Art Crawl?

June 22, 2024, 12pm-4pm

We welcome all forms of art, including painting, photography, ceramics, fiber art, etc- anything that can readily be displayed and sold that day. Local venues are cooperating with us to showcase the artists for this event, and we always do our best to try to pair the artist with the most applicable location. You will be able to create a pop-up shop for the afternoon right in beautiful downtown Gallatin!

Artists should bring finished works that are available for purchase and take home by patrons that day. (If a patron requests a commission, you may make those arrangements at your discretion.) Because this is a family-friendly event, we ask that all artwork present be rated "PG" (no nudity or graphic content).

Artists should provide their own means of executing transactions, including cash, check, and/or credit card at the artists’ discretion. You are responsible for supplying any table or display necessary for your work to best be seen that allows patrons to peruse (and purchase!) your finished work. If you require a table but are unable to supply one, please let us know at the time of your application, and we will find a solution. You may also want to bring a comfortable chair. Some venues may permit display on their walls, but this varies by venue.

If you wish to be a featured artist for this event, please email Gallatin Arts Council board member Patrick Green at [email protected] by 5/10/24. Be sure to include your:
Name
Phone #
E-mail
Website
Social media (if your artwork is featured)
2-3 clear photos of your artwork for review

We hope to see & showcase your talents, so send this in ASAP!
