RAW FAQ's
Q. Will you provide space for me if I don't have a studio in Ravenswood?
A. Absolutely! We will locate a space in the corridor for your art/performance/etc
Q. How much space do I get for $35?
A. Last year the spaces were an average of 15-20 linear feet for artists that needed wall space. The performance spaces and installation spaces were based on the needs of the artists and varied.
Q. I have a business in Ravenswood and want to showcase my business, how do I register?
A. On the registration form you can select business and put the name of your business as the listing.
Q. I do more than just one of the options (for example: painting and music) but the application makes me choose only one. How do I let you know I do both?
A. At the bottom of the application is a place where you can add additional comments. In this space, please indicate what your needs are and will contact you later this month to make any necessary accommodations.

A. We do not pay any artists to be in the Ravenswood ArtWalk. All artists, whether they are painters, dancers, poets, filmmakers and yes, even bands pay RAW $35 for inclusion in our event. If you are a band, please mark musical performance on your application. We will contact you about scheduling the performance area that is best for your musical act.

A. No. Each artist must pay the $35 application fee. Have each artist indicate the group name on the application form and we will ensure that everyone in the group is located in one building. When we print the map, each artist's name will be listed under the group name.

A. Just write a note in the additional comment area at the bottom of the application and we will do our best to honor your request.
