Call for Artists – Artstock Art Market

Call for artists for the 2013 Artstock Art Market! This year’s annual Artstock event will be a “mini-Artstock” in the sense that instead of a two day event that included an open studio tour, we are planning an afternoon Artstock Art Market and Gallery Walk from 3:30pm-7:00pm on October 5.

There are several things already in the mix for that weekend. It is the kick off weekend for the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau “Savor the San Juans” ad campaign and the Agricultural Resource Committee’s “Islands Harvest Festival.” On that Saturday on San Juan Island there will be the Farmer’s Market in the morning, followed by the Farm Parade, followed by the Chili Cook-off in the afternoon. So there will be a lot of buzz about town.

To give you a quick “feel” for the event, the Artstock Art Market will be partnering with the Chili Cook-off to share the Brickworks facility. The artist booths will be along the walls inside of the building and the tables for the patrons of the Chili Cook-off will be down the middle of the inside the building. There will also be live, local music inside. The tents for the chili food vendors, additional tables for eating, a beer garden, cider press and other harvest activities will be outside on the Brickworks Plaza.

Because of the limited space there is room for only 10 art booths; and, therefore, will be limiting the number of any one medium. Applications will be processed and acceptance based on a first come first served basis. The booth fee is $20-$25, depending on booth size. The booth sizes will be 6’x8′ and 8’x8′.
