2008 Modesto's ART & WINE FESTIVAL: 8/16
Thank you very much to those who attended the member meeting on Monday, April 14 to discuss the 2008 Art & Wine Festival. It was a very informative discussion, and we appreciate all of the feedback that members offered. For the members that were not able to attend, here is a brief synopsis of what was discussed.
The 2008 Art & Wine Festival Planning Committee has two general goals with the festival this year:
To that end, the planning committee has made several changes to the format of the event, and with input from the members at the meeting on April 14, has refined those changes to best serve the artists participating in the event.
The physical size of the event has been reduced, as has the musical element of the event. This will help to put more emphasis on the artists participating in the festival, as well as help to cut expenses on fencing, stages, and entertainment. At the suggestion of the members, the event will remain 10:00 am – 10:00 pm, to ensure the morning crowd has the opportunity to enjoy the event.
The committee would also like to offer artist demonstrations to the public, given by artists participating in the festival. The committee is in the process of determining how many demonstrations to offer and at what times. If you are planning to participate in the festival, and are interested in giving a demonstration of your work to the public, please contact Kadie Helton at 209.529.3369 for more information.
To make the event more profitable to better support the CCAA and Mistlin Gallery, artists will now be charged a modest fee for the space they occupy in the festival. Every artist participating in the festival will pay $100 for space at the festival, as well as 15% of all sales. Artists will also continue to submit a refundable deposit of $250 which can only be collected if the artist stays at the event until closing.
We hope these changes, and many other smaller changes not mentioned above, will make for a smoother, more enjoyable event for the artists, as well as a financial success for the CCAA and Mistlin Gallery. We appreciate the input given by the artists on April 14, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2008 Art & Wine Festival!
