2026 Call to Artists


The Riverwalk Connection

Submission dates: Monday, August 2 through Friday, October 2, 2026

Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale invites local artists to submit their original artwork depicting Fort Lauderdale’s Riverwalk and/or downtown and how the Riverwalk serves as a central connector in our community, geographically, socially, culturally or economically. Potential points of view include:

  • “Riverwalk in Motion” (boats, people, festivals, wildlife)
  • “Moments on the Riverwalk” (human experiences—events, quiet scenes, movement)
  • “Riverwalk: Then, Now & Next” (past / present / future interpretations)

Artists are invited to submit two and three-dimensional original artwork of all mediums, including but not limited to watercolor, oil, sculpture, photography, charcoal, mixed media, drawing and gouache.

Following the submission deadline, artwork will be judged by a local juried panel, with the winning piece being featured on the cover of a future issue of Go Riverwalk Magazine.  Artists must be available to be photographed and interviewed for the story. 

Submission must include: Name, Address, Phone, Email, Title of piece and Description. Click here to download the submission form. For questions and to submit items email joyel@GoRiverwalk.com or call 954-468-1541 x 200.
