Calling all artists!
The Minnekhada Park Association is currently seeking artists to participate in a two day art festival and exhibition in scenic Minnekhada Regional Park in Coquitlam, British Columbia. This summer event offers visual arts, live music, roving performers, arts and crafts workshops, a children’s area, the Creative Café, and provides an opportunity for artists of different origins and disciplines to meet and share their passion. The Festival provides a high quality event for artists to network with the public, their colleagues, and friends. Art sales are a welcome by-product of this exhibition, but not the sole purpose. There is a space for each artist in the historic Minnekhada lodge or outside in the driveway surrounded by the garden. There is a minimal exhibitor fee; however, no percentage of the artists’ sales is retained by the organizers.
Please note that this year, there will be credit card payment processing stations on site. | Participation Requirements
Entry fees, artist biography (max. 100 words), a head shot for the event guide, and two to three photos of your art work are required with your application. Vendor selection is made by a jury to ensure variety and quality of entries. Applications are due June 1st. Each entry will be reviewed and notification letters will be sent out shortly thereafter. Late applicants will also be juried and may be placed on a waiting list. Entry fee cheques will be held until after jurying. If your application is not accepted, your cheque will be destroyed.
| Criteria for acceptance into The Art in the Park Festival 2012 For sculpture, drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, installation and craft in all media:
