(This is a postcard advertising last years' event - this year the art fair will be August 11th)).Hey All!
I am looking for ARTISTS, CRAFTERS, & DESIGNERS to particiapte in SummerFest 2007, an Art & Craft Fair (in coalition with a children's carnival) that my church hosts each year. I am the Art Fair Coordinator for this exciting event, now in it's 3rd year, and we are always looking for new creative people to apply! If you are interested, or you KNOW SOMEONE who might be, please read on...
SummerFest is a lovely one-day (10am-4pm) outdoor event with a reasonable entry fee of just $25 (+ a $5 jury fee) for a 10' x 10' outdoor space. This year it will be on Saturday, August 11th, and is held on the grassy lawn of River of Life Church in the beautiful suburb of Shoreview, MN.
The event is lightly juried to keep the quality up and multiples of artists in the same category down. We are looking for ORIGINAL handmade and/or originally designed product from artists & crafters of all styles.
We have a multi-faceted marketing campaign, including professional signage, ads in local Shoreview papers and the Twin Cities Kids Directory (see it in July!), a door to door drop, and a direct mailing to art & craft buyers, amongst other things.
This art fair and children’s carnival event is free to those who attend, and includes live entertainment, free snacks, a $1 lunch, kids games, and more! (So save the date and bring the kids!)
THE DEADLINE: We need applications in by JUNE 30th! (Some late entries may be accepted if we do not fill all the categories, so if you end up reading this in July, please shoot me an email).
Please click HERE to pull up a pdf of the artist "fact sheet" and an application. If you have any questions, you are welcome to email me at stcollection@juno.com or Debbie at info@findtheriver.net.
Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you!
