YOU ARE INVITED TO APPLY FOR:
Yuletide 2012
November 15-17, 2012
SPONSORED BY THE
SPOKANE ART SCHOOL
YULETIDE 2012 Yuletide is the SAS’s fun, holiday indoor
event of fine arts and crafts. Yuletide
will be held at the MAC in the two classrooms, the Gilkey Room, and hallways on
two levels. Booth space is available for
up to 30 artists. The event will open on
Thursday noon, November 15 and will continue through Saturday, November 17. That weekend will be regular Campbell House
and gallery hours, so we are anticipating festive crowds. (For information about the MAC visit its
website at northwestmuseum.org. Yuletide will end its event Saturday at 4:30 pm with Artist Awards, this year of $50 in
cash or equivalent each for “People’s Choice” and “Artists’ Choice.”
ART AND CRAFT WORKS Yuletide seeks high quality, original,
individually produced works that display consistent craftsmanship. Acceptable media include ceramics, paintings,
prints, drawings, mixed media, photographs, jewelry, glass, woodwork, specialty
food items, sculpture, and fiber arts.
In addition, we are looking for seasonal holiday items such as cards,
wreaths, menorahs, wrapping paper, clothing, toys, candles, soap, and
ornaments. We will accept nothing made
from kits or commercial molds, or with the help of an instructor. Although there are some sales of work over
$200 for an item at Yuletide, the bulk of sales occur between $20 - $50. Think about your own gift giving to friends
and family in considering your Yuletide sales strategy.
ARTIST SELECTION Both new artists and established artists
are encouraged to apply. Artists will be
juried on the basis of digital images of their work. The jury will select participants
representing a balanced variety of media.
DIGITAL images and application must be received by Friday, September 7, 2012,
to be considered. Jury
results will be sent before or by Friday, October 5, 2012, along with more
detailed information.
OPERATIONS and
FINANCIAL INFORMATION For
Yuletide 2012 participating artists will pay a flat booth fee of $200, due upon
your acceptance. There are no other
commissions or added fees. It is
acceptable for two artists to share a booth (and expenses and booth tending) by
submitting their images as one application. SAS reserves the right to reproduce accepted
images for advertising purposes. Artists must have a current city business
license and are responsible for collecting sales tax. SAS will advertise for
the event through mailings, newspaper and media as well as email the Yuletide
announcement to participating artists to send to their customers. Booths must be manned by artists or their
representatives throughout the event. Yuletide
volunteers will help direct customer traffic, booth-sit, sell raffle tickets,
and other things throughout the event.
There will be a security guard on duty, and the building will be locked
at night. Yuletide is free to the
public, but the galleries and Campbell House are subject to the MAC’s admission
fee. Free parking is available in the
MAC garage and on the street. Beyond our
costs, proceeds from the Yuletide event will directly support SAS educational
programs.
