Frederick Art Walk -
2010 Artist Registration Info for
November 6, 2010.
April 12: NOTE - Registration of houses
for the 2010 Art Walk is NOW CLOSED.
Welcome to the Frederick Art Walk Registration!
We are excited to invite Artists and Craftspeople to participate. The Frederick
Art Walk is a community event. It is not just about selling arts and
crafts; it is also about working together and bringing people into our
neighbourhood and homes. Please keep that in mind as you consider being a
part of the tour.
NOTE: Our registration process for
2010 has
changed. Please read carefully!!
There are some important qualifications and
requirements for joining the Art Walk:
- The venue for your work must be within the Central Frederick Neighbourhood
boundaries, and within walking distance of the other venues.
This is approximately the area bounded by Victoria, Krug, Lancaster
and East.
- All artists must
participate in the preparation and/or clean up of the
Art Walk (putting up signs, distributing pamphlets, etc). Jobs will be
assigned when you register. If your house is unable to fully
participate in the work, then this tour is not for you.
- All forms of art and craft are welcome, but
the majority of your pieces
must be original / handcrafted by the artist
(versus imported or mass produced) and all rights to the work must be
owned by the artist.
- Individual artists are responsible for
collecting and remitting their own provincial/harmonized sales
tax, and acquiring any permits that may be necessary. See
http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/english/taxes/rst/ for more information.
NEW for 2010: Registering
is now a TWO-PART Process. Please read the following
instructions carefully.
April 12: NOTE -
Registration of houses for the 2010 Art Walk is NOW CLOSED.
Individual artists may still join already registered locations.
- The host house is responsible for
paying the total
fees of all artists in their house. (Hosts need to individually decide how to split the registration fee with artists in their house once the payment has been made.
If you are an additional artist showing in a host house, payment is included with your host's
registration.)
SUBMITTING YOUR
REGISTRATION.
Each home and artisan must be registered in order to participate.
Follow these steps:
- NEW for 2010:
LETTER OF INTEREST.
A
Letter Of Interest (LOI) must be received by MONDAY,
APRIL 12, 2010 from each home applying to be
on the tour. The LOI must describe the artwork that you plan
to offer, and list skills that you can bring to the Art Walk
organization. We will be looking for artists who can help us
continue the Art Walk's successful tradition. Please see the
PDF LOI, and email the requested information to
Teressa.
-
The number of
houses may be limited, and your participation in the Art Walk may depend on
what you tell us in the LOI. The Art Walk
organizing team will meet on APRIL 15th
to review the LOIs.
-
All houses will be notified of the results
shortly thereafter.
- FORM. If
your LOI is successful a registration form will be emailed to you, to be
completed and brought to the Registration Meeting.
-
REGISTRATION MEETINGS. Each house is
required to attend a Registration
Meeting on either MAY 6 or MAY 13 (time,
location to be announced). Bring your completed
registration form and fee. You will have your house's Art Walk
jobs assigned and explained to you at this meeting. HOUSES
WILL NOT BE
ALLOWED TO REGISTER AFTER MAY 13th. No exceptions.
- FEE. The Art Walk fee for 2010
is $100, $40 of which is a deposit to encourage each house to perform
its Art Walk jobs. The deposit will be refunded at the November 24th
(to be confirmed) wrap-up meeting IF your job was completely
appropriately, and you attend that meeting.
