HOW IT WORKS

No need to reapply for every event! By submitting your application once, you’ll be considered for all upcoming Third Friday Art Walks throughout the season.
IMPORTANT:
- Be sure to apply at least one month before the first event you’d like to participate in. This gives us time to review applications, onboard new vendors, and curate an amazing lineup.
After submitting your application, you’ll receive an automated confirmation email letting you know we’ve received it.
New applications are reviewed for approval on a rolling basis. We use a set of criteria for each category, which can be found on the application.
You can expect to hear back within 3-5 business days of your submission.
IMPORTANT:
- Our system may automatically determine that your application isn’t a fit based on the criteria for your category. If this happens, you’ll receive an immediate automated email notification.
If your application is approved, you’ll be invited to join our vendor and artist pool for the season! In order to accept this invitation, you must also complete and sign a waiver and vendor agreeemtn.

IMPORTANT:
- You will not be added into our pool until you complete and sign the waiver and agreement.
- Being in the pool does not guarantee a spot at a specific event, but it puts you in the running.
Each month, we send out a form to vendors and artists in the pool to indicate their availability for that month's Art Walk.
Confirm your interest by letting us know if you’re available for the upcoming event.
Responding to these invitations does not guarantee a spot, but it helps us understand who is available and interested.
If selected for that month’s event, you’ll receive a booth reservation email with payment details. Your spot is only confirmed once your booth fee is paid.
Pay the $50 booth fee by the first Friday of the month at 11:59 PM.
IMPORTANT:
- If you miss the deadline, your spot will expire. You will have to wait for the next event to RSVP. You are not guaranteed a spot at the next event.
- Unpaid booths will not be permitted at the event. If you do not pay before arriving, you will not be allowed to set up.
- This policy ensures fairness as allowing unpaid booths would be unfair to those who followed the process.
Read through the event guide and instructions to ensure you're fully prepared for the day. It includes everything you need to know, such as:
- Set Up & Tear Down Procedures
- Parking Instructions
- Booth Guidelines
- Event Schedule
- Weather & Backup Plans
…and more! Reviewing these details ahead of time ensures a stress-free event day!

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Apply at least one month before the event you want to participate in to be considered.
If your application doesn’t meet certain criteria, our system may automatically determine that you are not a fit, and you’ll receive an automated notification.
Additionally, after our review we may determine that your application doesn’t meet criteria and you will receive an email notification.
We curate each block for variety and traffic flow. Space is limited, and we prioritize a balanced mix of vendors and artists while giving priority to:
1. Wyandotte County artists & vendors
2. First-time participants
3. A diverse and high-quality lineup
If you’re not initially selected, you’ll be placed on a waitlist. If a spot opens up, you’ll be notified at least two weeks before the event.
We prioritize waitlist decisions based on the following factors:
1. Vendors who have not participated this season: We aim to give those who haven't been able to participate yet a chance to join the event.
2. Vendors who did not participate in the prior month: Those who missed previous events are given priority to help ensure fair rotation.
3. Event Variety: We ensure a balanced representation of different types of vendors, making sure there's a diverse mix that will engage attendees, so certain categories may be filled more evenly.
4. Wyandotte County-based vendors: We give preference to local vendors to support our community.
We typically receive 40-50 more RSVPs than available booth spaces, so being placed on the waitlist is common, even twice in a row.
We consider the following factors when curating each event:
- First-time vendors: We prioritize first-time participants or those who haven't attended in two months.
- Category Balance: We aim for a diverse mix of vendors, so some categories may fill up quicker than others.
- Wyandotte County-based: Local vendors and artists based in WyCo are given preference to support our Wyandotte County community.
As a result, availability can change based on cancellations, shifts in vendor participation, or how the event lineup is balanced. If a spot opens up, we notify those on the waitlist accordingly.
We select anywhere from 70-75 vendors per event.
The booth fee is $50 per 10×10 ft space and is non-refundable.
