Art Passports On Parade

Every year Art-A-Whirl draws over 40k visitors to the NE Arts District, which was voted the number one arts district in the country for the last two years. This year the non-profit, Art to Change the World, will be introducing Art Passports on Parade as an opportunity to visit artists who belong to Art to Change the World, in their studios during Art-A-Whirl May 17-19, 2024.  Hours: Friday 5-9, Saturday 12-8, Sunday 12-5.

You can pick up a FREE Art Passport at the new ACW office and meeting space at 699 Lowry Ave NE. Upstairs. Follow the ACW signs. NOTE!  Room to park your car there on Monroe St!

There will be a FREE shuttle, driven by Eric Boyum from Boyum’s Enlightening Art Services, looping around from Lowry/Monroe to Solar Arts and Casket Arts Building  all three days. Once you are at Casket Arts,it will plug you into the Art-A-Whirl trolly route. Click here for map:

Next, you will visit at least 10 of the participating ACW artists in Solar Arts, The Casket Building, The Carriage House, The California Building, The Northrup King Building and Flux Arts to see their work, interact with the artist, scope out what work you might choose if you win and have them stamp your Art Passport. Most artists will also host activities in their studios.

Once you have collected 10 or more stamps you may turn in the last page back into the ACW Office at 699 Lowry to be entered into a drawing for $500 worth of art from an Art Passports on Parade participating ACW artist of your choice.

There will only be 100 Art Passports so be sure to get yours early.
The winner will be notified by May 26, 2024.
