About Art Walk

The North Beaches Art Walk is a monthly event orchestrated by the North Beaches Art Walk Association, a non profit organization 501 (c)(3) based in Atlantic Beach, FL.

Since its beginning in October of 2007, the North Beaches Art Walk has continued to receive positive support from the community, and has an ever-growing list of participating merchants and artists. Spread the word - and hope to see you at the next Art Walk!

As a non-profit, NBAW strives to support other local non-profits. We allow one non-profit a month to set up an informational table in front of Archway Gallery to promote themselves, and to sell art as a fundraiser.  (More Details)

Non-Profit Participation Requirements and Rules

The North Beaches Art Walk Association, Inc. likes to offer other non-profit organizations an opportunity to be part of the Art Walk event. We allow non-profits an opportunity to participate in the event (not ongoing). To particpate at a later date, we would need the non-profit to apply again to determine if we have an opening. There is no guarantee that your organization will be accepted for any particular month or at all; it depends on so many variables, such as any prior arrangements or decisions with other organizations, space available, and so on. Apply early to ensure the best success. Supply accurate information, and contact information in case of any questions we may have.

We would like for you to know about our organization and our monthly events, and our objectives. It is a good idea to be familiar with our website as it is the location we use to supply all relevant information.

In order to qualify, we need to have information about your organization.

Qualifications

Here are the guidelines of what you need to supply prior to being chosen as the non-profit for an Art Walk event. Please supply the following:

  • Legal name of your organization
  • Legal name of a parent organization your non-profit is part of (if applicable)
  • Proof of non-profit status (Federal Tax-id number and State Registration Information)
  • Non-profit classification i.e., 501(c)(3)
  • Start Date (started operations)
  • Statement of mission of your organization
  • Full mailing address information of your organization, and physical address if different
  • List of officers and board members, plus contact information for each
  • Your website URL
  • Social Network URLs, i.e., Facebook URL (not a search value), others you have accounts at or participate in
  • Examples of materials you will provide to visitors

In addition to the above, we need to know when you would like to be in the Art Walk event.

Please supply:

  • Preferred month you wish to participate, plus second and third choices. If only one month would work for you, please let us know and why. There is no guarantee for any particular month, but all the information you can provide will help us.

We do allow non-profit organizations to sell art to raise funds for their organization. To sell art, you will need to specify on your display at the Art Walk event that a portion of the sale goes to support the non-profit organization.

Please send:

  • Sample of art (if you plan to sell art at the Art Walk event). The review process may take a while so please send at least four weeks prior to the event in order to be reviewed in time. Make sure the item is identified and in a protective container. Include the details of the art piece, including artist(s) involved in making the art.

If you have a logo, you should send a high-resolution version (at least 300 DPI) and a low-resolution version (72DPI) for use in any advertising opportunities we may have. The high-resolution version should be a TIF or PSD file (not JPG). The low-resolution version should be a PNG or GIF file (not JPG).

Send the information to North Beaches Art Walk at info@nbaw.org.

If Accepted

Preparation

If your organization is accepted, you will need to prepare to display at the event.

  • You should arrange to have a regular sized display table, typically no larger than 3x8.
  • Have a tablecloth to cover the table in a pleasingly manner.
  • Prepare a sign for the front of the table that states: "North Beaches Art Walk Non-Profit of the Month" (download here).
  • Plan for adequate lighting as the event does take place in the evening, and many months will have darkness for much of the event. Your booth location may have access to electricity, but do not count on it. It is best to ensure you have portable lighting (battery powered).
  • Have a sufficient supply of your brochures or other advertising materials to hand out to those interested.
  • Arrange for any volunteers and schedule their time. Plan for periodic breaks for volunteers.
  • If you plan to sell art
    • Prepare a sign that states that a portion of the sales go to support the organization. State what amount or portion of sales go to support the organization for best results.
    • Have a way of handling cash sales, and possibly credit-card sales as well if possible.
      • Plan to have a locked cashbox to store cash received.
      • If you need security personnel, you will need to make any arrangements necessary.

Day of event

On the day of the event, show up at Archway Gallery & Framing (in the Shoppes of Northshore) in sufficient time to fill out the registration form, sign the release, receive your badge, and be set up by 5 P.M. to display. If you need help in setting up, have all your volunteers ready to help in plenty of time to be ready for the event.

After unloading any vehicles, ensure all participants/volunteers move their vehicles out of the Shoppes of Northshore parking lot to the dirt lot directly east of the Shoppes of Northshore, or other parking location that will not take away from parking spaces for visitors to the Art Walk event.

Ensure your display area has sufficient staff to answer any questions during the entire time of the event, from 5 P.M. to 9 P.M. Please do not shut down early as we are advertising that you will be there from 5 P.M. to 9 P.M. After 9 P.M., you may start to tear down any displays. You may bring vehicles back to the parking lot to help in this process.

All participants in the North Beaches Art Walk event must adhere to the Art Walk Rules.

After the Event.

We hope to hear from you with a follow-up telling us of your success at the North Beaches Art Walk event.
