A Space Coast alternative?

My head is spinning from trying to figure out what happened with Cocoa Beach and the Space Coast Art Festival. Lots of confusion about why it was cancelled, whose fault it was and the challenge of receiving refunds for the artists (which I have heard are in the mail).

So, let's move on. If you're open that weekend and looking for a sweet show, run by artists, nearby, check this out:

You are invited to
Carroll Swayze's
Englewood Bank & Trust Invitational Art Festival  

       

Hello ,

         Every year I put together two small art shows on the west coast of Florida.  If you know me you know that I believe in the value of original art.  I publicize “The Best Little Art Show in Englewood” extensively to attract an educated art buying crowd so that every artist in the show will have a successful experience in my home town.  It is important to me to see smiling faces leaving the show after pack up on Sunday so I work very hard to make that happen.  

          I collect cards of amazing artists at the shows I do because my show is invitational, there are no jury fees and no jury, if you’re invited you are “in” provided you send the application back to me before the show fills.

          I have set the dates for my two shows and I hope that you will consider participating.  I have attached both applications for you to read, download, fill out and mail back to me with your check.  The first 60 artists fill the show.

          I'm excited to announce the 1st Annual Englewood Bank & Trust Invitational Thanksgiving Show on Saturday & Sunday, November 26-27, 2016.  Thanksgiving is a very busy weekend here in Englewood but there is never much to do besides eating turkey so I am giving the community a place to shop for original art and meet the artists who create it.  

          The 29th Annual Englewood Bank & Trust Invitational Art Festival is Saturday & Sunday, January 28-29, 2017.  This annual event attracts thousands of art buyers to our community each year looking to add original artwork to their collections.  Widely recognized as one of the best quality small art shows in Southwest Florida, the show fills quickly so send in your application soon if you want to participate.     

            My shows are small, just 60 artists and every year I work diligently to maximize publicity for these events to make them successful for everyone.  I hope they will fit your schedule.  I have attached both applications in PDF form.  Please read them (they will give you all the details you need to know about the area and the show), then print out the applications and send them in.

Please remember:  

~ The show is very Small and it's Invitational which means that I carefully hand pick my artists to have a quality well balanced exhibit.  

~ Each year sales get better and better which means that each year I have more artists accepting a space early.  

~ The show is first come, first served.  The first 60 artists that send in their applications and fees, FILL THE SHOW.  

           Happy Trails!  I look forward to hearing from you.
