Q.  How much space do I get for $35?

     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

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.

Q.  I am in a band and we walk to perform at ArtWalk.  How much do you pay?
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

     performance on your application.  We will contact you about scheduling the
     performance area that is best for your musical act.

Q.  I am in a group of artists and we want to exhibit together.  Can we all exhibit
     for $35?
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.

     the same space again?
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.

Q.  Is the $35 fee an application for a jury show?
A.  No. $35 is the only fee.  RAW is not a juried show.  RAW's mission is to bring
    awareness of the artists that live and work in the Ravenswood Corridor.  Your
    payment of $35 ensures your inclusion in this year's event and supports our
    mission.
