"It is recognized that the origins of “First Thursday Art Walk” developed organically by artists seeking an outlet for artistic expression, audience and sales opportunity. With this in mind, the event should strive to maintain that spirit by keeping the participation rules simple and the cost low."

In accordance with the goal of providing affordable access to all artists, display space is offered for at the following rates: $8 for sale booths less than 8'x8' (64 square feet) $17 for space larger than 8'x8', but less than 10'x10' concession fee: 10% of gross receipts required by the City of Seattle for vending in a public park space is allocated on a first come first served basis

 

Pioneer Square galleries are also open extended hours during the Art Walk events
