November 14 & 15
West Palm Beach, FL
The Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds
presented by Artistic Synergy
100 Artists
Deadline: October 15
As the sign at the Miami Airport points out, Palm Beach is the center for the arts in Florida. Known for it's large and varied cultural base Palm Beach County is home to many art districts with regular monthly walks, CRA sponsored artist residencies, art in pubic spaces, art district tour buses, both major and minor art shows, art schools with regular exhibitions, museums offering art classes and a host of art leagues. This show will not have the usual crowd of people just out walking their dog.
What we are:
Why is ARTNADO the most innovative and creative art show of the season?
It's genesis was not as a private business to just make money from the work of artists but created as part of Artistic Synergy Inc., a registered non profit corporation in Florida with the goal of assisting artists in varying ways with their careers.
To create such a robust art show required a year of planning where for the first time both sides of the success equation was researched.
The first parameter was "What do artists want" and the second, almost always overlooked, is "What do patrons want". These two questions were asked in many venues for over a year with their answers creating ARTNADO.
To accomplish this we have created:
- an indoor event at a high profile venue (50,000 square feet under air; 10,000 square feet outside vendor boutique)
- doubled the traditional standard space to 10X20 feet
- maximized the number of corner booths
- created a safe environment for your work (air conditioning, no rain or wind concerns or rained out shows)
- better illumination for your art
- an embellishment room (a living room setting) for visitors to view selected works by the artists
- curators choice corner (think visual best of show display) for 2D, 3D and jewelry
- models to display the designs of jewelry artisans
Marketing:
Our promotions will cover the usual such as radio stations and television, print, posters and post cards. In addition art organizations will be contacted, art show specific newsletters and massive banners will be employed.
Our jury process:
You will find our process to be slightly different then what you may be use to.
First, a photo of your booth will not be required. This gives emerging artists, who have not commercially shown their work, a level viewing field. Of course, you are welcomed to submit one if you so desire, since we specifically chose a venue that would allow indoor tents.
The key difference is that we will employ a "rolling jury". If your art scores 4.9 or better on a scale of 7, you will receive an invitation within 10 days. This is to help you plan your year early and reduce your application fees by not having to apply to multiple shows to fill specific dates.
Testimonials:
"I wish more show promoters were as considerate as you are."
"Thank you for taking so much time to talk to me personally."
"Your e-mail correspondence and letter of acceptance were outstanding, more shows should issue such letters."
Believing in the use of the word "synergy" in our name we have not only reached out to over 19 local art organizations but have also given them the oppurtunity to help educate the public about the arts.
