Artist Sign Up Form

Want to be a featured artist at a future Art Walk?

Please read the following and fill the out the form below!

Rules for Artists:
The purpose of the Art Walk is to connect Artists with the community, and the following rules help ensure that all have a positive experience. Failure to follow any of these rules will result in the Artist not being allowed to show or sell artwork at the EFF Art Walk for 3-6 months, depending on the severity of the infraction.

  • Be respectful to your venue and its staff!
  • Be present and set up at your assigned venue for the entire Art Walk, 5-8 p.m. That means being set up and ready to greet Art Walkers by 5 p.m.
  • Greet and sign passports for Art Walkers.
  • Provide your own cash for change and/or electronic payment method.
  • If cancelation is necessary, give EFF at least 24 hours notice. No call, no show is unacceptable.
  • Pay the Art Walk Artist Participation Fee for each Art Walk. This fee helps EFF continue its mission and provide extra services for EFF Artists. (If this fee deters you from participating in the Art Walk, please contact EFF, sponsorships are available.)
  • Artists under 18 will need to have their parent/guardian email Emporia First Friday to grant their permission for them to  participate in the Art Walk. Artists 16 and under will need a parent/guardian to remain with them during the Art Walk.
  • Artists may not be featured two months in a row unless special circumstances arise to ensure every Artist has a chance to participate.

Tips for Artists:

  • Engage with Art Walkers as much as possible – smiles get sales!
  • Art Walkers love when you demonstrate and/or talk about your process.
  • Have business cards and/or social media QR codes available.

Sales Tax:
Artists are required to collect and pay sales tax on all sales. A certificate specific to each event will be provided to artists prior to the Art Walk for display. For more information on how to pay sales tax, visit our Sales Tax Info page.

  • Please have your parent/guardian email Emporia First Friday to grant their permission for you to participate. Artists 16 and under will need a parent/guardian to remain with them during the Art Walk.
  • Do you have a public Instagram account dedicated to your art? If so, let us know your user name to be tagged in postings.
