Now that the holidays are over, you may be turning your thoughts to your summer schedule (even though the temperature is below zero)! Would you consider applying to exhibit at Art at the Mill? This event has been in existence for 9 years. It is a juried art and fine craft fair scheduled for July 22, 2017. The fair is held outside nestled among the trees and surrounded by historical buildings in the beautiful Richfield Nature/Historical Park (Washington County - Wisconsin).  

Amenities for exhibiting artists:
·        Ample space between booths
·        Easy pull-up for unloading
·        Reasonable $55 booth fee (before or on 4-1-17) or $65 (between 4-2-17 and 7-1-2017)
·        Low jury fee of $10 (waived for returning artists)
·        Booth reliever
·        Free coffee/pastries during setup time
·        Tickets for tour of historic buildings located in the park
·        Friendly staff

The quality of our fair is very important. The number of like exhibitors will be limited to assure a good balance and variety.  The quota for jewelry artisans has been reached. Therefore, no applications for jewelry exhibitors are being accepted. For other categories, apply early for your best chance of being selected.

Advertising is also very critical for art fairs.  This event will be widely advertised in print, broadcast & social media and promoted through many local businesses. We want to reach as many potential attendees as possible. Free admission to the fair and the extra benefit of being able to tour historic buildings are attractive factors.

An application form and guidelines are attached and also available at: www.richfieldhistoricalsociety.org. (Home Page under Upcoming Events, July 22, 2017 -- Art at the Mill).  Feel free to call or e-mail with any questions.
