This month's McMinnville Art and Wine Walk will be on Saturday, June 16th, on and around 3rd Street, the charming heart of Mac. :^)

Information for Artists

Someone just asked me what it takes to show at the Mac ArtWalk (*ahem* "McMinnville Art & Wine").
There's no jury selection process: just set it up with one of the participating businesses!

Make Contact:
I'll go through and add phone numbers to the Google map, but until that's up, you can find most numbers here: http://www.downtownmcminnville.com/bus_dir/showcat_alpha.cfm?alpha=c

It's for one day, from 11:00 in the morning to 8:00 at night, some folks start as late as 2:00, but it's important to stay till 8:00 if you can. The artists are expected to be in attendance, but not every great artist is a great socializer. If this is you, it might be possible to have a lower profile. Arrange it with the store owner ahead of time.
When you are in attendance, please be social! Artists who mingle and chat sell stuff, and it raises the fun factor for everyone.

The shop will provide what the State calls "substantial fare" - art opening staples like cheese, crackers, nuts, etc to complement the wine. The shop will either arrange a local winery to pour tastings, or will provide the wine itself.

John Hawks at Hawk's World Gallery has a list of interested artists. You can call him and ask to be added to the list. His number is (503) 474-2070. Or comment on the blog and link to some samples of your work!
