Presented by: Artists and Charities Hand in Hand
Saturday and Sunday 11 am - 5 pm
100 Artists
Deadline: September 15

Application fee $45
Booth fee $1000-$2000 based on location

Looking for artists who wish to participate in a dynamic, juried, unique, conceptual in-door fine art show event at a fabulous venue, the Palm Beach County Convention Center, on Nov. 2-3, 2019. We are working with community, community leaders and artists to support their favorite non-profits (The Armory Center For the Arts, the Dreyfoos School of Art and Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League), 20% of all art sales will be donated to them. 
 
a8a8cd24-12e2-4d19-9011-c43274479481.jpg The Convention Center offers an in-door, air-conditioned, professional venue and plenty of accessible parking.  We offer 100 booths for artists working in any fine art category to show and sell their art in Pro Panel walled booths. The booth walls will be provided to the invited artists. 
 
Marketing:
  • will be provided by The Buzz Agency, a premier PR firm in Florida, as well as by the three designated charities/nonprofits. 
  • Well-known community leaders and artists will be participating at this event, lending their marketing support and huge following, including a nationally known artist who has over 2 million followers who will promote and share this event with all of them.
The event is presented by Ingrid Robinson, an artist with a successful entrepreneurial business background who created Artists and Charities Hand In Hand one year ago as a legacy in memory of her only child. Since then she has hosted several successful art shows where thousands of dollars in art sales were donated to different charities.

Mission:
It's our mission to provide artists access to high-end buyers while accelerating fund raising for local charities in a first-class venue.

Plan:
47130a4b-8bb7-407d-8770-4fb751f661f3.png Her idea is a very simple one, but it grabbed hold of artists, charities and community and became a brilliant way of creating a "coming together" which resulted in new ideas and venues for artists to show their work and for non-profits/charities to be more interactive with the community to help raise money for their causes by being supportive of artists and their art. Since her business model proved to be a success on a smaller scale, she decided it was time to take the art show to "prime time."

Learn more the event and Ingrid at the artistsandcharities.com website. You will find a very determined woman who has had several successful achievements to her name, including uncovering one of the largest financial frauds in U.S history.

Testimonials:
Gloria Shanahan, a wonderful artist who has participated in this festival for many years says, "The Summit Art Festival is run by artists for artists. Hospitality means unloading your vehicle with help if needed, volunteers who stop by your booth to make sure you received lunch or let you know where to find snacks and such for a quick pick me up. Patrons seemed to be educated and attentive with the artworld and the artists. Both patrons and I were impressed with the quality of work lining the streets. A well run and well put together show by people who make you feel welcome and appreciate you being a part of their festival. Thank you, Summit Art Festival!"
 
Artists LOVE participating in our festival - our experienced and friendly team of Summit Art members and volunteers strive to make each artist feel welcome!
