Returning Artist Application Form

Welcome back to the 14th Annual Edge of the Big Woods Art Wander! We’re excited to have you join us again for this special event.

The Art Wander is more than a studio tour – it’s an opportunity to build awareness of artists in Carver County, connect with the community, and share your creative process. We encourage you to demonstrate your work, engage with visitors, and offer them an inspiring experience as they explore local artistry.

To support our artists, we promote the event through our website, Facebook page, “save the date” postcards, and an official printed brochure.

We look forward to celebrating another year of art and community!

    To simplify filling in the form you can use "Same as last year" in any box.

    Please provide 3 new images of your work for our promotional materials and website. The new images help to show people your most current work, build excitement for this year’s event and keep the website current.
