An exciting September event...

Jackie and Mike Tompkins have very generously donated the Lakeside Events Center for AOTA's use over the Fall Festival weekend - September 19 & 20. Here's the deck:

The Fall Festival attracts a huge crowd and we'd like to have artists demonstrating and selling their work at this event. The more people demonstrating, the better! I know not all art lends itself to public demonstration and some folks aren't comfortable demonstrating - that's fine; you can still sell your work. However, if you can put on a show your work tends to sell better.

Here's a shot of the interior:

That's about 1/3 of the inside space. We can't put any holes in the walls, so 2D work will have to be on easels, or propped on the tables. There are several long, narrow tables around the perimeter of the room that aren't pictured. There's also a nice lighted bar in the back for display.

There were rumors the Fall Festival may be moved to the lake since Buffalo BBQ was so successful, however, Brad at the Chamber said it's not so; it will be in the town park. If the festival was on the lake I'd gladly do this show both days, but I'm leaning toward Saturday only. I want to hear from everyone interested - would you rather do it one or two days? A shorter day on Sunday is an option, too. If you're interested - please let me know as soon as possible. We'll go with whatever the majority wants - but I need to let Jackie know by August 8th.

There will be a 15% commission on all work sold - please write a check to AOTA at the end of the show.

This should be a fun show - and you can't beat the view!

Please let me know if you have any questions.
