The annual Illuminate Art Walk is returning to Raleigh in December and the Downtown Raleigh Alliance is searching for artists to participate. This paid opportunity requires artists to be NC-based and able to create mid-to-large sized original pieces in downtown.

The opportunity will allow hundreds of thousands of people to view your original art.

To be a part of the month-long art celebration, interested candidates should apply by Monday, July 22. Good luck.
