Artist applications available for Art & Wine Walk Artists are invited to show their work at the 2008 Art & Wine Walk, which takes place the third Saturday of the month, May through October from 1 to 5 p.m. in downtown Grand Forks and East Grand Forks. Artists can show their work at participating businesses; the North Valley Arts Council will help set artists up with participating businesses each month. Artists are welcome to have their work available for sale each month, and artists keep 100 percent of the sale price of their artwork.

The application deadline is the Tuesday prior to each Art & Wine Walk. Space is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis.
