Artist Application
Apply for Mission Fed ArtWalk 2025
The artist application for the Mission Fed ArtWalk is now open! Artists are highly encouraged to apply early to secure their participation in the fine art show. Artists are given priority in the booth assignment process based on how early they apply and confirm through payment. Additional consideration is given to an artist’s medium category and how many years an artist has participated in ArtWalk fine art festivals.
Event OVERVIEW
San Diego’s longest running and largest art festival is in the city’s Little Italy district. The charming venue is San Diego’s dining mecca, which on any weekend attracts thousands. During the ArtWalk weekend, the neighborhood is filled with over 100,000 art lovers that travel from all over the USA to attend. Occupying 15 blocks of the district, artists may choose from a wide variety of locations. Each city block has its own unique character, and this year for the first time, we are decreasing the sprawl of the event so that the footprint is more compact and there will be fewer total artists.
The ArtWalk San Diego team is well-known for our artist-focused management style, and our outstanding staff and volunteers that look after every artist request. Artists benefit from an extensive marketing, publicity and social media campaigns, with a strong presence in radio and television as well as print and online advertising. Considered one of San Diego’s top public festivals, the attendance grows each year. Marketing pieces are provided for participating artists to distribute.
ArtWalk San Diego events help to support ArtReach, our not for profit partner that delivers high quality visual art education in schools throughout San Diego County, that have no other resources or budget for art.
