Two Florida events with only a few spaces left in Sarasota and on Marco Island, need only a few more artists to fill them out before they are presented to the public. The are organized by
Richard Sullivan whose
Boulderbrook Productions festivals are consistently ranked among the top art shows in the country.
March 21st & 22nd Sarasota Masters Art Festival Payne Park Sarasota, FL 110 Artistsonly a few spaces left! Here is a special message from
Richard Sullivan:
Artists, we have selected and secured a great location; the new Payne Park in downtown Sarasota. A truly great location with easy set up, loads of convenient artist and patron parking. We are as excited about the caliber of this event and the great success we have had already with this show. We think it is going to be the most successful event that has ever been held in Sarasota. It's time that Sarasota gets to see the finest artists in the nation. There are still a handful of spaces available for the show. Link for Festival Info and ApplicationThis event will have a total of no more than 110 artists, each booth is a corner booth and there is a Friday afternoon set up where you can drive up and unload and set up. We have an extensive media campaign that includes advertising in the local newspapers and magazines. We have purchased ads on two local radio stations including the local NPR station. We have television commercials scheduled for Comcast Spotlight and we have partnered with a local media company on a sponsorship level. We have been extremely fortunate to have associated the festival with one of the most worthy not-for-profits that we have ever met. The Forty Carrots Family Center. Forty Carrots is one of the most well respected local Sarasota organizations. Their ties to the community have given us great exposure to the art-buying patrons of Sarasota. Call for Artists: The Marco Island Festival of the Arts April 4th & 5th Marco Island, FL Elkcam Circle east, across from the new Esplanade Mixed-Use Shopping and Residences 70 artists A few spaces left From director Richard Sullivan:
We know the Naples area better than any other festival organization and, as a result, have decided to establish a new kind of event in Marco Island for the 2009 season. This event will feature the finest artists in the nation in a wonderful new location in an untapped area of Naples (no, really there is one, I swear). Come and join us for the right sized show in the right section of the city. This location offers premium exposure. Marco Island is a perfect location for a nice small high quality event. We believe that a small high caliber event on Marco Island is appropriate for this area. You'll appreciate this wonderful location in central downtown Marco's shopping district. The area of the festival is a beautiful waterfront location with plenty of adjacent parking for artists and patrons. Boulderbrook Productions is renowned for running the Naples National Art Festival in Naples Florida. We were very fortunate to be able to be associated with this wonderful show for a very long time. Our event in 2007 was just rated #5 Best Festival in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine in the September 2008 Issue. We know our market and how to promote the event for your full benefit. Our goal is to reach local art buyers and enthusiasts through: *# Advertising - island newspapers, Naples Newspapers *Sponsorship involvement on advertising level *Regional television and radio coverage via purchased advertisements We currently have a handful of spaces available for this show:LINK for Application and more info Looking for more art fairs for your 2009 season?
