3. ARTS FOR ALL FESTIVAL INFORMATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHOWING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE WWPS TENT
The Arts for All Festival is May 8,9,10 at Shepler Park (Gore Blvd. & 4th St.) in Lawton. As a WWPS member, you can display and sell some of your photography without paying entry fees by showing it in our WWPS tent. You get to keep the money (minus sales tax), and AFA does NOT take a percentage of your sales!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Bring your artwork:
a. Either, framed (or equivalent such as gallery wrapped) with hangers or wire on the back (wire preferred). Framed pieces without wire or hangers will not be displayed.
b. Or, shrink wrapped and mounted in sizes 5×7 or larger to be placed in our tabletop display rack. Note: members may use the WWPS shrink wrapping machine. (recommended to keep your art clean.)
c. You can bring as many pieces as you want. But, we try to balance the amount of display space among artists, so we may not display everything you bring.
2. Write or attach a note on the back: 1. The PRICE (WHOLE DOLLARS ONLY), 2. YOUR NAME, 3. TITLE. Also put the prices on the front on a piece of paper slipped into a frame corner, or something similar.
3. Make a list of what you bring to show, so you’ll know if something is missing later.
4. Bring your artwork to the WWPS tent on Friday, May 8th from 3-6pm.
5. After the show, you must pick-up your work no later than 4:45pm on Sunday, May 10th. We are not responsible for it after the close of the show.
6. If you display in the WWPS tent, we ask that you volunteer at least 2 hours “booth sitting” in the WWPS tent or work at one of the AFA booths (beer, Coke, hospitality, etc.). Watch your email for a sign-up sheet.
