Oak Island Art Guild
Annual Arts & Craft Festival
August 31, 2019, 9 am to 4 pm
SE 46th St & Dolphin Dr, Oak Island, NC
(soccer field behind Town Hall)
Seven months until the Oak Island Art Guild’s Arts & Crafts Festival. Seven months seems like a long time but we’re making plans. Last year we ran out of vendor space in early July and had to turn away loyal vendors who did not get their applications in before we ran out of space. Keep that in mind and get your applications in early.
Be sure to read the prospectus thoroughly and fill out the application completely. Missing information could delay your acceptance. Also, choose your photographs carefully. The quality of your artwork is the foundation of the jurying process and to visualize the quality is often dependent on the quality of your submitted photographs. A photocopy is a poor substitute for a photograph. Each photo should represent a single item; no booth photos. As usual, applications will be juried in early July and you will be notified of the results a week or two later.
Should you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Mary Beth is the Festival Chairperson and I’m the Vendor Manager.
Hope to see you August 31.
