some art festival opportunities in Arizona

These notices showed up in ZAPP this morning.

Tempe Festival of the Arts - Fall 2011 - Tempe, Arizona
OPEN DATE: 5/1/2011
DEADLINE: 6/30/2011
Jury Fee: $35.00
Event Dates: 12/2/2011 - 12/4/2011
Scheduled for December 2 - 4, 2011, the Fall Tempe Festival of the Arts is among the oldest, largest, and best-loved traditions in the Desert Southwest. Held over a 3-day weekend, more than 225,000 visitors shop from the Valley’s best selection of fine art and craft, from more than 400 artists who come from nearly all 50 states and beyond. The Festival occurs in a festive street fair atmosphere in the Mill Avenue District of downtown Tempe, Arizona.

This juried show does not admit buy-sell artists, and promotes original art with all artists on site to engage visitors. The event is held semi-annually, taking advantage of the “snow bird” high season in Arizona. Fully one third of the Festival’s visitors are escaping the winter blues and come from outside Phoenix and outside Arizona, shopping for the perfect one-of-a-kind gift.

It’s fun for the whole family, too, with live entertainment, Kids Innovation Station where children make art they can take home free, the Arizona Wine Festival and The Art of Beer. The Fall Tempe Festival of the Arts offers a wide variety of amenities for artists including hospitality carts, booth sitting services, a large-art delivery assistance program, and a 24-hour security patrol.
