Deadline: March 1
Since the fall of 1964, Festival in the Park has brought Charlotteans from all walks of life together to enjoy arts, crafts, music and family entertainment. With the mission of bringing the community together by celebrating the arts, the Festival Board is excited to broaden its reach and to announce a spring fine arts event, the Kings Drive Art Walk.
We invite you to participate in our spring event which will be held along the Little Sugar Creek Greenway, a newly reclaimed natural waterway between East Morehead Street and Pearle Street Bridge along Kings Drive. With a 
focus on fine and emerging artists, our new spring festival on this beautiful and easily accessible venue will become an annual fine arts outing!
Most importantly, the King's Drive section of the Little Sugar Creek Greenway is adjacent to some of Charlotte's most prestigious and affluent neighborhoods - with homeowners who appreciate and can afford fine are. We intend to target these neighborhoods with appropriate promotional materials.
What to expect:
- All booth locations along a greenway; no "hidden" spaces
- Short dolly-in for setup and teardown
- Advertising in social media, radio, local newspaper, area neighborhood magazines
- free parking and 24-hour security
- a vibrant local economy; artists at past 2 years of KDAW have been very happy with sales
- sponsoring partners are the Arts & Science Council, Metropolitan, CBS Radio stations and others
- 2012 attendance was 25,000
Jury/Booth Fees: $25/$250
electricity available for an additional $25.
