Annapolis, Maryland
200 Artists
Deadline: March 4
It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to apply to exhibit at the Fifth Annual Annapolis Arts, Crafts and Wine Festival. This premier event showcases the prized works of over 200 artists employing a variety of medium: painting, sculpture, ceramics, digital art, mixed media, printmaking, jewelry, fiber art, glass, wood, leather, metal and photography.
About the region:
- a population of over a half-million
- the Annapolis area has a median household income 30% higher than the national average.
- It is the destination of more than 4 million visitors each year, accounting for $1.8 billion in revenue.
- Maryland is the wealthiest state in the nation and the Annapolis jurisdiction is the fourth most affluent in the state.
- Annapolis is also conveniently located approximately 35 miles from both Baltimore and Washington, D.C. and its affluent Maryland and Northern Virginia suburbs.
Well-known for its maritime culture, colonial heritage and charming downtown shopping district, Annapolis was named one of the nation's Top 25 Arts Destinations in American Style magazine's 12th Annual Arts Designation Poll.
To ensure widespread awareness of the festival, the event is being aggressively marketed throughout the region with a multimedia advertising and publicity campaign via TV, cable, print, radio and online, as well as through posters, postcards and brochures. Formerly called The Annapolis Arts and Crafts Festival, the event has added a new dimension of a large selection of Maryland wines and will now be known as "The Annapolis Arts, Crafts and Wine Festival."
The event is produced by City Dock Productions, an event management company with over 36 years of experience presenting arts and crafts festivals, music festivals, wine and craft beer festivals and other consumer product shows and public events. The festival is endorsed by the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County, Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts and the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Visitors and Convention Bureau.
The Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is an ideal venue, easy to reach, just off Rt. 50, and with ample parking for both exhibitors and the public, the site is available for setup on Friday, June 6.
Artists can drive up and offload right at their booths. Plenty of nearby hotel accommodations in every price range, continuous shuttle bus service to downtown and all of the many shops, restaurants and attractions of historic Annapolis are just some of the amenities exhibitors will enjoy.
The Annapolis Arts, Crafts and Wine Festival staff takes great pride in our event--and in you and your work. We look forward to having you as part of our fifth annual event.
