Artist Application

Applications will be accepted soon for the 2024 Art Walk.

Visit us on Sunday, September 22, 2024 —historic downtown Aurora will transform into the area’s liveliest arts scene—and here’s your chance to be part of it. Art Walk Aurora’s 11th Annual juried art show will feature the work of more than 20 visual artists and hands-on art for youth and adults. The highly anticipated event is unique among the city’s festivals, with artists exhibiting in and around participating businesses. Free to the public.

The event has been moved to Sunday to avoid conflict with Husker football.
