Beverly Downtown Art Crawl Seeks To Connect Artists, Businesses

BEVERLY, MA — Beverly Main Streets is seeking North Shore artists for its Downtown Art Crawl in November.

The free program pairs artists and downtown businesses in a connection where the artists can display their work at the businesses for exposure and potential sale of the items. There will also be a town-wide popup on Nov. 16 where each artist will pop up at the business where their art is displayed.

Interested artists can apply here.

Art can be displayed on a wall or a shelf, whatever works for the artist and business involved. Artists can have information on how to purchase their art. Then buyers can pick up the piece they purchased when Art Crawl is over in the beginning of December.

The Nov. 16 event will include offering the artists the chance to have additional artwork available for purchase and to be on hand to chat about the works and the process.

The types of artists that would be best suited for Art Crawl would make things like paintings, drawings, illustrations, digital art and other framed work — small sculptural pieces would also work.

Businesses interested in participating in the project can contact Beverly Main Streets with outreach also planned to gauge that interest.
