Richfield Art at the Mill Entry Deadline 1/17/15
As you plan your 2015 art fair
schedule, I would like to invite you to apply to![]()
Richfield Art at the Mill.
This
is
a juried art & fine craft fair and a
plein air painting competition to be held on July 25, 2015. This is our 7th year for this event. The fair
is held outside nestled among the trees and surrounded by historical buildings
in the beautiful Richfield Nature & Historical Park (Washington
County.)
Amenities for exhibiting
artists:
- Ample space between booths
- Easy pull-up for unloading
- Reasonable $50 booth fee (on or by 1-17-15) or $60 (between 1-18-15 and 3-14-15)
- Low jury fee of $10 (two jury dates of 1-20-15 and 3-17-15 with artist notification one week after)
- Discount on food
- Booth reliever
- Free coffee/pastries during setup time
- Tickets for historic buildings tour located in the park
- Friendly staff
The quality of
our fair is very important which is why (beginning in 2015) we are jurying all
submitted photos at the same time. There will be two
Deadlines (lst Deadline: 1-17-15 and 2nd Deadline 3-14-15).
Jurying will take place right after each deadline with artist
notification approximately one week thereafter. This assures
the best arts and fine crafts will be selected for exhibit.
The number of like exhibitors will be limited as well to assure a better
balance and variety. (For example, the number of jewelry
exhibitors will be capped at seven. So, apply early for best
chance of selection.)
Advertising is very
important 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.

the next level, these workshops are designed to give you a full artistic
day of hands on learning.

Paint along with James step by step in an in-depth study of extraordinary masterworks of the snowscape genre. Throughout this process we will discover how to see and create scenes glowing with raking and reflected light over snowy landscapes blanketed with the rich azures of atmospheric shadows.

Joaquin Sorolla: Painter of Sunlight
Beloved in his native Spain, and admired as one of the finest artists of his era, few have painted the brilliant effects of sunlight like the Impressionist Joaquin Sorolla. One of the most accomplished portrait artists of his day, Sorolla was also an extraordinary plein air painter, capturing on canvas gorgeous effects of sunsplashed light with bravura brushwork and an elegant eye. Renowned for his Mediterranean beach scenes celebrating the lives of the fishing communities and children at play in his Valencian homeland, Sorolla's paintings come alive through a perceptive display of suggested movement, scintillating color, and luminous shadows. Paint along with me as we study in depth the vision and techniques of this master of plein air painting.

Eyes of the Impressionists: Techniques of the Masters of French Impressionism
Paint
along with James in this workshop as we explore the revolution in
perceptions and techniques of IMPRESSIONISM which emerged and was
developed among extraordinary artists worldwide in the 19th
century.Through an in depth study of master works from key artists of
the movement we'll examine the processes and procedures used to create a
wide variety of atmospheric effects of light and space, from vibrant
sun-raked fields to shimmering opalescent skies.
Our
focus for this workshop will feature the great Impressionist artists of
France, considered by many as the primary innovators in the movement.
Paint along with me as we explore the work of leaders of the French
Impressionist movement including Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro. The work
of these remarkable painters with their dedication to plein air painting
demonstrates an extraordinary sensitivity to atmospheric light and
color. These pioneering artists also developed innovative design and
compositional strategies to create pictorial environments of great
spacial depth and nuanced textures.
I hope you will be able to join us!
