There are still some available booth spaces for Art at the Mill to be held on July 22, 2017.  Do you still have that date open on your summer schedule? Art at the Mill has been in existence for 9 years. It is a juried art and fine craft fair 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 $65 booth fee
·        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 quotas for jewelry and wood artisans have been reached. Therefore, no applications for jewelry and woodworking (cutting boards, bowls, etc.) exhibitors are being accepted. All vendor spots are filled.

Advertising is also very critical for art fairs.  This event will be widely advertised in print, online, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest). Hundreds of fliers will be posted in businesses ranging from West Bend to Cedarburg to Oconomowoc. 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 incentives for attendees.

An application form and guidelines are attached and can also be found at: www.richfieldhistoricalsociety.org (Home page, left column, scroll down to find the links to the documents). I would love to have you apply to exhibit. The deadline to apply is July 1, 2017.

Feel free to call or e-mail with any questions.
