Join the Virtual BGIF Gallery Walk

Showcase your gallery or studio and exhibit your artwork.

The Virtual BGIF Gallery Walk is open to all galleries, studios and artists in south central Kentucky. If you have an idea that won’t fit exactly into the standard setup – LET US KNOW! We will make every effort to accommodate.

Deadline for all materials: Monday, September 21, 2020

Requirements: Your virtual exhibit must include at least one new work that is influenced by a foreign culture. For this purpose, new work means a work never publicly shown before September 26, 2020. A caption/description referencing the cultural influence is required.

This image will be used as the first image on your slideshow for your virtual gallery/artist listing. If you submit a video it must also include a reference to your culturally influenced as well as a reference to the Virtual Bowling Green International Festival Gallery Walk.

The gallery, studio, or artist is responsible for creating and submitting their photographs and video along with writing their descriptions/captions. HOWEVER, if you are not able to edit your video you may turn in raw footage for Vid Monster Productions to edit. There will be no charge for this opportunity – but raw footage must be turned in by September 4.

Sales: Whether your work is available for purchase is up to you. If it is you can include purchasing information in your description, captions, and on your video.

Samples: If you would like to get an idea of how others approached their video for similar events visit hotspringsarts.org/hs-virtual-gallery-walk
