The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is pleased to announce that The Image Review Workshop will be offered again this year for artists who would like to receive a private critique of the digital images of their current work. This opportunity is sponsored by The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival Foundation and is extended to those artists not exhibiting in the 2026 Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival.
Our 2025/2026 Judges, Thomas Brewer, Cheryl Strichik, and Gina Washington will offer both morning and afternoon “in-person” and eight mid-day virtual appointments to out-of-state artists who applied to the 2026 Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival.
AGAIN THIS YEAR
- The Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation has offered their impressive, beautifully- equipped new building for the 2026 The Image Review Workshop. Their glass-fronted headquarters can be found at 199 S. Knowles Ave., a street parallel to and one full block east of Park Avenue… steps away from the Cocina 124 restaurant on Welbourne.
If you are feeling frustrated that your work is the best you have ever done but is not being accepted into juried art shows or you feel that the images you are submitting may be hindering your acceptance, “in-person” applicants may bring up to 6 images of your work and one of your booth (all images in JPEG or GIF format) on a disk or a flash drive. Images only are accepted. Virtual appointment applicants will be asked to email their images with the same specifications. The 2026 IRW judges listed above will critique them for you. Talk, discuss, evaluate, and come away with a further understanding of what the judges look for in winning work. Once again a 2025 participant was accepted into the 2026 WPSAF.
The time slots are kept to exactly 20-minute increments and are limited to a maximum of 20 participants. If you would like to take us up on this offer, please use only this email, irw@wpsaf.org to request a VIRTUAL or IN-PERSON Morning or Afternoon appointment preference. Please begin your request specifying a virtual or in-person (morning or afternoon) appointment request, and include your residence address, and the category in which you applied. Appointments are considered on a “first- come, first-served basis” for those completing the requirements.
At the time of this call participants and accompanying companions must pledge to properly wear a tight-fitting mask throughout their appointment and the waiting time for their appointment. Please come prepared to comply but understand requirements may change by March 23.
For our in-person applicants: Please remember to allow plenty of time to drive into the area and find a parking space. Parking is very limited during the festival and is best found on surrounding streets, in designated parking lots, or the SunTrust/Truist Parking Garage. Be respectful of others by arriving a little early to be ready at your appointed time.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity offered only by The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival for a private, complimentary, professional review of your images, and look forward to hearing from you soon.
