McAllen, TX, August 11, 2010 – McAllen Memorial Library is gearing up for the 2010-2011 ArtWalk season, starting Friday, September 3, 6-10PM at 601 N. Main St.

Interested in exhibiting your work?

The library welcomes applications from artists and bands with striking perspectives and sensibilities. Due to the popularity of ArtWalk, we are configuring the library's total exhibit space to accommodate the following types of exhibitors per ArtWalk night -- for free:

Artists (3 per night) - painters, sculptors, photographers, and practitioners of similar visual arts.
Artisans (1 per night) - practitioners of handmade decorative objects, such as jewelry, pottery, figurines, etc.
Demo Artists (1 per night) - artists who can demonstrate their skills on-site and on-demand, such as through drawing, weaving, and painting.
Student Group (1 per night) - a school-, college-, or university-based art class, club, or similar organization.
Local Band Spotlight (1 per night) - local bands can apply to have their music showcased from a CD (they will not perform live) for the entire 4 hours of an ArtWalk night; bands will also be provided with a table to pass out flyers for upcoming shows or display a poster. CD sales are permitted, but the band is responsible for its own cashiering.

Applications can be made online by going directly to this link: http://www.mcallenlibrary.net/events/artwalk

The following nights are still open to exhibitors. Apply today!

2010: September 3, October 1, November 5, December 3
