Call to Artists for:
Art Port Townsend Annual Juried Show
The 14th annual juried show Art Port Townsend: Expressions Northwest is definitely the art event of the season! Get ready now: the prospectus is available here, or at the Northwind Arts Center. See the Art Port Townsend website for addtional information.
Art Port Townsend Studio Tour
Dear Studio Artists: We are actively planning Art Port Townsend now. Studio Tour will be on Saturday & Sunday, August 25th – 26th, from 10 am to 4 pm.
We invite you to be a part of Studio Tour 2012: submit your application (available at Northwind Arts Center) by June 1st!
Fees for each participant is $95 for members of Northwind Arts Alliance or $130 for non-members. If you are not a current donor to Northwind Arts Alliance, you may join now to get the reduced entry fee. Once again, the tour will be free to the public. See below for application instructions.
New this Year: Art Port Townsend has rented the Quimper Grange Hall for artists who do not have or wish to open their own studios. Space is available for six artists at an additional fee of $40 (to pay the facility rental). As with all studios, a demonstration or educational component must be part of these artists’ spaces.
Your fees partially cover the costs to produce and implement the tour: printing the brochure, signs, and advertising. The fee increase in fee covers increased publicity for the Tour and payment for Web services previously donated. There will be a $25 late fee for entries submitted after June 1st to cover additional costs in correcting the brochure.
Kate Dwyer has generously volunteered to be the Volunteer Coordinator for Artists on the Tour and Melinda Bryden will coordinate the paperwork.
