Saturday, August 27, 2005
10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Professional and amateur artists of all ages invited to participate in the Uptown Stroll.

Guidelines/Conditions for Artist Participation:

At this “Festival of Art in Action” it is expected that artists will actively produce art during the festival. Although prizes will be awarded based primarily on the piece the artist is working on at the time the jurors appear, artists are invited to have on display and for sale other completed works.

Choose one of these categories:

1. Juried (prizes will be awarded to winners)
2. Non-juried (no prizes)

Choose one of these divisions:

1. Adult
2. Youth (ages 8-17)

Artist will be assigned a work area in front of or inside sponsoring shops in Uptown all within two blocks from the intersection of Queen Anne Avenue and Mercer Street.

Artist will be assigned for the day a Stroll Ambassador to be at his/her beck and call for every need: accompany artist to his/her location, help set up and dismantle, bring sustenance to artist, watch station so artist can take a break. Whatever Artist wants, Artist gets.

Artist will bring all supplies needed for the day, eg. easel, chair, table, display racks, potter’s wheel, etc.

Artist is encouraged to display for sale his/her art during Uptown Stroll. No commission for sales will be taken by the Uptown Stroll.

Additional opportunities:

Artist is encouraged to submit one work of art for display in Bank of America at 100 W. Mercer during the month of September. No commission will be taken by Uptown Stroll. As sales are strictly between buyer and seller, artist must provide contact information to be displayed with art work. Please check appropriate box on Registration form if you wish to do this. Details re drop off, pick up, etc. to be provided at a later date.

The Uptown Stroll would like permission to use artist’s artwork on its website and for postcards to be sold by Uptown as a fund raiser. Artist credit and contact information will accompany the art work. Please indicate your wishes by checking appropriate box on Registration form.

We look forward to your participation.
