There will be a $5.00 juried fee for each artist.
Artists are allowed to hang two paintings initially, but after the judging we will fill up any vacant spaces. Browse boxes and small tables are allowed, and larger tables will be provided for other small items.
20% of all sales will be donated directly to the park. Money will be collected by CWC volunteers and turned over to the club treasurer, who will then mail checks to individual artists. SASE is appreciated.
Artists are asked to please identify EACH item with 1) Name of painting (if applicable), 2) Item number as listed on inventory sheet, 3) PRICE, and 4) Artist's name. Without this information sales are very difficult.
If you have any questions call Jeanne Conrad at 352 628-7760 or e-mail kcon@tampabay.rr.com. Jeanne will have inventory sheets available at the January and February meetings, or click on the sidebar link to get a copy of Inventory List.
