The Hickory Downtown Development Association is seeking artists interested in participating in the Thursday, May 17, 2012 Downtown Hickory Art Crawl. The Downtown Hickory Art Crawl is a Juried Show. Artists will be selected by a committee.  Based on the medium of art and the style of the work, artists will be either placed in participating businesses to complement the merchandise of the business or placed in the Union Square Farmers Market Pavilion.

A participation fee for each artist is .00. Artists will not be required to pay any commissions for work that is sold during the Art Crawl. The Art Crawl is planned from 5:30 to 8pm, with a kick off party at Full Circle Arts at 5pm.

There will be room for up to 30 artists. HDDA reserves the right to determine where the artists are located. The committee strives to place artists in a business that will complement both the artist and the business, so please follow the application process closely.
