Plans and Opportunities
Some Great News:
Urban Art Network is pleased to announce that beginning First Thursday August 6th from 3pm – 8pm, we will join the Pearl District Business Association's Healthy Streets Permit. Alongside local Pearl District restaurants and businesses we will have spaces for up to 5 UAN artists to display and sell within the PDBA street closure on NW 13th ave on Thursdays every week. The street closure set up will follow guidance provided by Public Health Department for the safest operating procedures during this public health crisis.
We are excited to offer this opportunity to Urban Art Network artists who wish to participate in 2020. This is a no cost opportunity. Preference will be given to artists who had pre-paid for 2020 season. There will be 8 separate weekly opportunities this summer, and we hope to be able to include all artists interested in participating.
If you would like to display your work within the street closure this summer please send an email including a high resolution image of your current work and your contact information HERE.
And some more Great News:
Urban Art Network was awarded a grant for the RACC which we will use to host a Virtual Art Walk! Our newly updated website has improved speed, accessibility and navigation, and it is ready to work harder for UAN Artists as a promotional and sales platform.
