Ridgeland, Mississippi Renaissance at Colony Park 100 Artists
Deadline: December 6
Application fee: $30
Booth Fee: $250 for 10' x 10'
Due: January 10, 2020
Held in the typically mild and refreshing days of early spring, the Ridgeland Fine Arts Festival (www.ridgelandartsfest.com) presents artists and their work against the splendid setting of Renaissance at Colony Park, a regional lifestyle center renowned for its shopping, dining and entertainment experiences as well as for its graceful Old World architecture (www.renaissanceatcolonypark.com).
The City of Ridgeland has grown from a quiet suburb of Jackson, the state capital, to a vibrant hub for the arts and a premier retail and dining venue. Santé South Wine Festival, an international showcase of the world's premier wines and some of Mississippi's most succulent culinary delights, will be held in conjunction with the Ridgeland Fine Arts Festival.
 The timing of the festival works well for routing with other Southern spring shows.
The Ridgeland Fine Arts Festival is presented by the Ridgeland Tourism Commission, a tax-exempt, State of Mississippi chartered agency. We develop and implement a robust regional marketing campaign. All proceeds are used to produce and promote the show.

Art is a powerful tool to evoke social change. Without uttering a single word, artists can enlighten, educate and affect change around the world.
Since 2004, Embracing Our Differences has used the power of art and prose to promote diversity. The centerpiece of Embracing Our Differences is an outdoor juried art exhibit featuring 50 billboard-size images (12.5 feet by 16 feet) created by local, national and international artists and writers.
The display reflects the artists' interpretations of the theme "enriching lives through diversity." The exhibit is displayed annually at Bayfront Park in downtown Sarasota. The 2019 exhibit hosted 218,000 visitors to Bayfront Park, bringing total attendance, since 2004, to more than 2,920,000.
Embracing Our Differences invites you to participate in creating a world where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated. Become a part of this exciting change through your visual art or quote submission to the annual Embracing Our Differences international juried competition. The statements accompanying each artwork are also vital and provide insight into our common humanity - as well as the differences that make us all unique.
The winning artworks combine a deep understanding of both medium and message. Awards are given for "Best-in-Show Adult," "Best-in-Show Student," and "People's Choice" categories, with the last chosen by visitors to the exhibit. Adult winners each receive $1,000; students receive $1,000 with $500 to be directed to the student and $500 to their school's art program, if they worked under the direction of an educator.

Booth Fee: $395 for 10x10; $495 for corners
We invite you to apply Coral Gables Festival of the Arts. Although our festival has been around for six years we are making big changes that we hope will work well for the participating artists.
New this year:
- The Miami/Coral Gables Mega Art Festival is 5 events in one location at the same time. Our focus is on fine art with over 200 artists in 13 different categories.
- This year we decided that instead of having more artists which means more competition for you we would grow the event by having 4 other festivals run at the same time.
- The other festivals are - Kid, Apparel, Dog & Pet and Food, Wine & Spirits Fest.
- More exhibitors equal more booths and therefore more advertising money which equals more people attending the event.
- We remain focused on quality of attendee, but quantity is also very important. The other festivals are separate from fine art.
- Admission to the entire event is free to the consumer except for the Food & Wine Fest which is a ticketed event.
- In total there are about 350 booths at this year's Miami/Coral Gables MEGA Art Festival.
Expect:
Attendance 35,000 and 24 security provided by City of Coral Gables Police.

Application Fee: $35 Booth Fee: $235 - $430
The Old Island Days Art Festival, now in its 55th year, has grown from a local to a national juried show and attracts nearly 25,000 visitors in the two-day event including locals, winter residents and tourists. Take a break from the cold northern winter and add this show to your winter circuit!
The Old Island Days Art Festival is set one block off of famous Duval Street in Old Town Key West. Booths line Whitehead Street and onto Caroline Street, through the historic Presidential Gates into a beautiful, tree-lined street in a private affluent community known as Truman Annex. January and February are considered high season and generally the tourists that visit Key West in high season have more disposable income.
We are a small show, run by small group of artists and try to do the best
we can for our artists to be successful!
New:
A new show director has taken the reins! Local Key Wester, Grace Epperly, is a potter and former gallery owner. She has participated in the Key West Craft Show for at least 15 years, as well as various other shows throughout the State of Florida. She knows exactly what is involved in preparing a large amount of inventory, traveling to a show and setting up and breaking down for a show in all types of weather conditions. She is the perfect person to take over the position from Lois Songer, the previous director. Grace will also bring a fresh, bold and bright look to the marketing with her graphic design background.
Marketing Plan:
In addition to our advertising in local newspapers, radio and magazines, we will have a heavy concentration on social media. We will also be implementing an email marketing plan and adding more marketing throughout South Florida. We will increase the amount of posters that we put up around town and include 4 large banners in key visible locations to attract more patrons to the show.
