2023 marked the inaugural Marŝarto Award for outstanding walking art, for which we had an overwhelming response, with submissions from 5 continents. Meet the shortlisted artists, and discover the nuts and bolts of making walking art, in this roundtable discussion hosted by Geert Vermeire. Ten walking artists who had had pieces shortlisted in the Award, joined the discussion, and between them came to some surprising answers to questions about walking art posed by Geert Vermeire and members of the audience.

Here are the shortlisted artists who joined the discussion hosted by Geert Vermeire: Rachel Epp Buller, Babak Fakhamzadeh, Janice Jensen, Chris Kaczmarek, Deirdre Macleod, Roelant Meijer, Alison Neighbour, Sonia Overall, Kel Portman, and Jenny Staff.
