Call for Artists for Downtown Hickory Fall Art Crawl 2024

The Hickory Downtown Development Association is seeking artists interested in participating in the upcoming Fall Downtown Hickory Art Crawl. Art in most disciplines will be accepted, although art must be in good taste and able to be shown to persons of all ages. Artists will display their works in and around local downtown Hickory businesses and demonstrations are encouraged. There is no charge to the artist for participation and no commissions are charged on items sold, but artists are required to personally pay all applicable NC taxes.

Artists selected to show will need to bring all necessary display items, tables and chairs. Failure by the participating artist to appear at the event will be considered during the application process for other downtown events.

The date for the Fall Art Crawl is Thursday, September 19, 2024 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

Artists must be set up by 4:30 pm and may not remove displays before 8:00 pm.
