Art Tour Guides Wanted

The Bethesda Arts & Entertainment District is seeking an outgoing and knowledgeable individual with an arts background to lead guided tours for the Bethesda Art Walk.

The Bethesda Art Walk takes place on the second Friday of every month and features 12 downtown Bethesda galleries and studios that open their doors from 6-9 pm. Tour guides will lead a group to seven participating galleries, speak about the galleries' current exhibitions, and introduce the gallery directors.

Tour guides must visit each gallery before the Art Walk and view current shows. Tour guides will receive a stipend. Please contact Heather Blum at 301/215-6660, Ext. 17 or hblum@bethesda.org.

The Museum of the Living Artist is holding its premier international digital fine art exhibition. This exhibition is sponsored by SONY with cash awards totalling $6,000.

The gallery space is 10,000 sq.ft. and is located in the heart of Balboa Park, San Diego. I am very familiar with the area, which attracts more than 12 million visitors annually. While the contest requires online submission, the actual show will consist of prints up to 8ft by 8ft.
