JUST THE FACTS. . . For Our 2008 Artists
The Dragon Art Fair is sponsored by the Dragon Arts Group which raises
funds for arts scholarships by coordinating art related events throughout
the year. An exciting side benefit of these events is that they provide an
opportunity to showcase what the DeForest/Windsor area, “The North Star
of Dane County”, has to offer.
The Dragon Arts Group works with other community groups to cross
promote the day’s events, such as the DeForest Car Show, DeForest, Library
book sale & children’s activities, Windsor Garden Club Plant Sale, DeForest
Area Historical Society Ice Cream Social and new this year, the NorthStar
Blues & BBQ Fest. Shuttle service will be available to ferry guests between
the downtown activities and the NorthStar Blues & BBQ Fest!
About Us:
Our goal is to make this fair the one everyone, artists, patrons and
volunteers, are proud to say they were part of.
The Dragon Art Fair presents artists’ hand-crafted works, not the work of
mass production studios. All work must be presented in a finished
manner. No work which has been made with commercial kits, molds,
patterns or plans is allowed. The organizers reserve the right to refuse
exhibition of work which does not meet this criteria.
The fair will be held regardless of weather. The organizers assume no
responsibility for lost, stolen, damaged goods or exhibits.
About You:
Participation is open to all artists 18 years of age or older who exhibit fine
art and fine craft works of original concept, design, and execution by the
exhibiting artist. Artists are responsible by law to pay applicable state
and federal taxes on work sold.
If you like to have fun and want to be part of an event planned around
your needs, then you should be part of the 2008 Dragon Art Fair.
Registration:
Registration does not guarantee a spot in the 2008 Fair. Applications and
photos (digital or hard copy, non-returnable) will be reviewed and juried
within 3 days of the deadline. Registrants will be notified by mail of their
acceptance status. Information packets with booth location, hotel and area
info, event updates, etc. will be sent separately.
Requests for specific booth location will be considered, however, the
organizers cannot guarantee the result.
Registration cancellations made within the two week period prior to the
fair will not be eligible for refund and that artist will lose pre-registration
privileges for the 2008 show.
Fees/Booth Space:
One 10’ x 10’ booth space costs $90 (you may request two spots, but
approval will depend on available space). Two booths will cost $180
Discounts are available for “early bird” registrations and artists who have
participated in previous events.
Set Up:
The fair is located on Market Street so plan to set up your booth on
pavement. A white Easy-Up or similar shelter is required for each booth.
Shelters should be of construction sufficient to protect against our
unpredictable Wisconsin weather, i.e. wind and rain. Electricity is not
available. Dogs are not recommended, but may be allowed with prior
approval from the organizers
Set up is available (and encouraged) on Friday evening from 6-9 PM with
security provided from 9 PM-6 AM. Saturday set up will be from 7-9 AM.
Loading and Unloading Directions:
Vehicles may be brought on site during set up and tear down hours only.
Artists are expected to provide labor and necessary materials to set up their
own booth space. When you have completed unloading and loading,
please be courteous and move your vehicle.
Parking:
Parking is available in nearby streets or designated parking lots. Details
will be provided in the information packet.
Booth Assistants:
Volunteers will be assigned specific booths to assist you throughout the
fair. Your “day of” packet will include your assistant’s name and how to
reach him/her or one of the fair coordinators at any time during the event.
Please be sure to indicate on your registration form if you will require help
during set-up and tear down so we can ensure we have enough volunteers
available.
Upon arrival, all artists should check in at the information booth in the
center aisle to get their “day of” information packet.
Refreshments:
Two (2) coupons for complimentary muffin, cinnamon roll or yogurt and
coffee or juice are provided to all vendors. To better serve you, we are
adding fruit and other healthy items to the Dragon’s Den already fantastic
food court. If we don’t have it in our food court, you will likely find what
you need at the car show in adjacent Fireman’s Park, at the Lyster House,
or at the Blues & BBQ fest at Linde Fields.
Silent Auction:
The DeForest Area Historical Society has made gallery space available to
display donated items after May 22nd. This generates interest in the
auction and provides additional exposure for the donating artist. We
encourage artists to consider providing their item early, however, items
may be brought to the event and given to one of the volunteers the day of
the fair. The minimum bid should be provided.
