Strathearn Art Walk takes place over 3 days and welcomes over 30,000 visitors each year!

Every Strathearn Art Walk vendor will have their own 10x10 foot outdoor spot and access to all festivities including local food, beverage, and live music!

What is an artist spot?

Each artist spot is 10’ x 10’ and will be marked with spray paint on the ground. Artists can fill their spot however they choose. We recommend bringing items such as tent, display tables and infrastructure that can be secured safety to the park grounds.

Tips and tricks:

  • We do not have an ATM on-site, contactless payments (card/mobile) are highly encouraged. Each artist/vendor will be allowed to determine their preferred method of payment.

  • Bring items such as string, tape, scissors, binder clips, clamps or weights in order to secure display items and structures. It is the artist’s responsibility to secure the items in their spot. Please prepare for wind!

  • Bring additional tables, easels, panels, dividers, crates, chairs, etc. as needed to display items — as long as it all fits within the 10’ x 10’ space.

Note: All display infrastructure items are the responsibility of the artist/vendor and there is no option to rent tables, chairs, or tents. Every tent/shelter or tarpaulin must conform to CAN/ULC S-109, “Flame Test or Flame-Resistant Fabrics and Films” and should be secured to park grounds as the park may be slightly uneven, and it may be difficult to stand an easel or display.

How do vendors set up?

  • Please do not park within the Strathearn Community Neighbourhood.

    A designated Strathearn Art Walk shuttle will run continuously between the parking lot and the festival site.

    Leaving space in the neighbourhood for patron parking will help to ensure that lots of people come and see your art :)

    If possible, we are recommending that you have a friend or family member drop you off at the site.

  • Artists/Vendors are expected to adhere to all arrival/setup guidelines as laid out by Strathearn Art Walk.

    One week ahead of the festival, you will receive an email from us providing your spot number and your loading instructions.

    Please notify us at artists@strathearnartwalk.com if you do no receive this info.

  • Please arrive at your designated time slot to begin setting up, this will help us make the load in process smooth for everyone.

    Strathearn Drive from 91st Street to Strathearn Crescent will be closed with a parking ban in effect during the event (with artists being let in during the load-in and load-out time frames only).

    Please have your information regarding your spot number and load-in time slot when you arrive for our Traffic Volunteers to assist you.

    When you arrive and park in the designated Artist Unloading Zone (assigned to you that morning), please proceed directly to your spot, volunteers will assist you in locating your spot — if you have questions, or cannot find your spot, please ask one of our volunteers for assistance.

    A limited number of carts and dollies are available to borrow, to assist you with unloading. These will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

    If possible we strongly recommend bringing a friend or family member to help you unload and set up within your time frame.

    Once you have finished unloading, you must move your vehicle. Artist Parking will be available with a shuttle to bring you back.

    Vehicles left within the closed area reserved for Artist Unloading will be subject to ticketing and/or towing.

    All artists/vendors should be prepared and ready for patrons by 12 pm. (6pm on Friday)

    The perimeter fence will be completed at 11:45am, after this time the only access will be via the three entrances.

  • All artists/vendors are asked to remain set up until the end of their allotted sales times:

    3 Day - 10pm Friday & Saturday, 7pm Sunday

    2 Day - 7pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday

    1 Day - 7pm Saturday or 6pm Sunday

    3-Day Beer Garden/Night Market and 2-Day Artists will be permitted to leave tent set up between days at your own risk.

    There is overnight security but we cannot protect against the weather!

    The Artist Shuttle will be running continuously throughout the festival every 30 minutes.

    A limited number of carts and dollies will be available to borrow to assist your load-out.

    A few load out tips:

    • Have your setup disassembled before leaving to retrieve your vehicle.

    • Pack up as quickly as possible to allow room for everyone.

    • Return to the same location as your Load-In for Load-Out.

    • Watch for our traffic volunteers to help you exit safe and sound.

    To keep our park clean, Garbage bags will be available for artists, these bags may be left at your spot and will be collected by a volunteer at the end of the night.

    Artists/vendors will be expected to adhere to all cleanup/teardown guidelines as laid out by Strathearn Art Walk.

  • Night Market artists will set up on Friday at 4:00 PM and have the option to leave their infrastructure — tents, tables, and chairs — set up for the entire weekend. We will have overnight site security on duty each night to help keep an eye on your setup and belongings.

    While we’ll have lighting provided down the market rows, artists are encouraged to bring battery-powered lights for inside their tents to help showcase your work beautifully after sunset.
