Artists can register via the link below (Application). The application fee for neighbors who reside in WHH or OWD neighborhoods is $25. Those living outside the neighborhood who are interested in participating pay $35. We are especially interested in young neighborhood artists participating. Those under 18 years of age pay $15. In past years, we have been successful finding host houses if needed.
The deadline for applications is October 17th at 5:00 PM. Perry will assemble a map over the weekend after the 17th and send it out for proofing the following week. If you are looking for a location to host your work, or are willing to host others, please reach out to Perry.
Publicizing your work is important. Contact Perry about that or see a post by Perry to the WHH listserv on Sept 14.
