Deadline: May 22
An Occasion For The Arts (AOFTA) is held each year on the first weekend of October on the streets of historic downtown Williamsburg. Artist's booths line the streets of Duke of Gloucester and Boundary in the center of Colonial Williamsburg and on the edge of the campus of William & Mary, a popular destination for people from around the world.
Since it's debut on October 5, 1969, An Occasion for the Arts has focused squarely on the arts. The goal from the start has been to "invite a number of artists of accomplishment to show their work in this attempt to present to the public a spectrum of two and three dimensional expression."
The event is supported entirely by a volunteer, non-profit organization and dozens of volunteers who work diligently to make the show a success. The revenue from this event is used solely to expand the arts in the community and encourage students to pursue careers in the arts. This competitive juried art show brings together the work of talented fine artists and Tidewater patrons who love it.
Each year, our ambition is to be the best show we can for those exhibiting with us, and our commitment to our exhibitors is to balance the show in a way that showcases your work as unique and provides the potential for sales.
Testimonials:
"It was my best show of the year! I had a lot of traffic, wonderful people and great sales. Sold a lot of new work and big paintings."
"This was a killer show for us. People started buying from us at 9am and never stopped until 5pm. It was the same both days. The entire atmosphere was perfect-the weather helped too."
