Invitation to Exhibit at Fine Arts Fair

From: Richfield Art Fair <artfairrhs@gmail.com>
 
Are you setting up your 2013 art fair schedule?  If you still have July 27 open, please consider applying for Art at the Mill.

5th Annual Art at the Mill
July 27, 2013
Richfield Historical Park
Richfield, WI - Washington County

This fine arts and plein air fair is held in a beautiful, natural wooded park. The park contains an historic grist mill and other log/frame buildings which are open for tours during the fair giving an added incentive to attendees. For the past four years, there has been a nice variety of exhibiting artists. Surveys submitted by 2012 artists indicated most planned to return in 2013. Work is being done to establish contacts beyond the surrounding communities to encourage making the fair a ‘destination’ – visit the fair for half a day and another nearby attraction for the other half. Additional advertising is being planned. Our goal is to ‘grow’ this already successful fair with increased attendance and number of exhibiting fine arts artists.

The amenities of this fine arts and plein air fair are:
  • ample space between booths
  • discounted booth fee $50 (before 6/20/2013); $60 after that date
  • low jury fee - $10
  • free coffee/pastries during setup
  • help during setup/takedown if requested
  • discount on food
  • booth reliever
  • tickets for historic buildings tour
  • fliers available for advertising
The number of jewelry exhibitors will be limited this year and will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is still space for two jewelry exhibitors.
 
Attached are the Guidelines and Application Form. These documents are also on our website.
