F.A.M.E.
Fine Arts in Motion Events SE Wisconsin Arts Groups Update:
It has been a while and
hope all of you are creating great things!
Hope we can get you
excited to join in some upcoming art events.
We had our first two very
successful art events this past year:
The first ‘Art
in the Park’ outdoor show last summer
united with the Mukwonago Chamber’s ‘Music in the Park’
attracted many excited visitors. We had 12 outdoor artist vendors and
hosted a great plein-air event
throughout the community during the week. Many sales and
commissioned art transactions were realized! This community loves
art.
A last minute request to
do an art show for the Mukwonago ‘Midnight
Magic’ event afforded four of us- Karen
Halt, Terry Molter, Barb Beier and I to take a great vacant building
and convert it to a one-time gallery, right in the middle of the
action on Hwy 83 and Main. We estimated over 1,000 visitors, and we
sold a lot of work.
NOW we need you to
engage with us for the following
opportunities in Mukwonago:
Saturday, September 28,
2013--Mukwonago Fall Festival (10-4)—
This is huge,
and will be hosted around the main business intersection of Hwy 83
and Main with roads blocked off. There is an enormous amount of
activity happening in a small area that brings crowds to the venue.
I have worked with the Mukwonago
Chamber to host a great outdoor artist
venue on one of the main streets-in the
middle of the action, joined by dance performances and prime-time
space. This event will be well publicized by the Mukwonago Chamber
and expects to draw thousands to this one day event..
For only around $35, you will
have a 10’x10’ outdoor booth space in are “Fine Arts and Media
Corridor’. We will be in prime space occupying the closed- off Main
Street at Hwy 83, running north-east on Fox st./Hwy ES. We plan on
having many artists, photographers, and 3D arts and media
represented. You do not want to miss this opportunity. Contact me
via email at macdonaj28@gmail.com
or my cell: 262-729-6153 to reserve your space.
In addition, we were asked if
interested in again participating in the June 29th
‘Music in the Park’ with a lead-in ‘Art in the Park’ venue
similar to last summer. The chamber is not sponsoring this event, but
it is still being planned by local business and organization leaders.
If interested in this as well, I
will need to know soon. Our priority right now is to focus on the big
Fall Festival. Contact information above.
More details to follow but most
important, we need to book spaces for the Fall Festival.
Also, please feel free to share
this with other creative friends you have. This is not limited to
local residents, etc.
Thanks and hope to be working with
you again soon!
