Call to Artists
What: Three fine art and craft festivals
Where: Naples, FL
When: February - March 2012
The
Naples Art Association has been hosting outdoor art fairs for 55 years
that attract over 50,000 art-savvy collectors and attendees looking to
buy. Naples is well known for its community of artists and collectors
and was named "The #1 Small Art Town in America" by author John Villani
in his book The 100 Best Art Towns in America. We invite you to
present your talent and art to our community.
In
return, we will promote our festivals and fairs using a wide variety
of public relations and advertising including television, radio, print,
editorials, email blasts and social media. Applications for the three festivals listed below are available now by visiting www.juriedartservices.com. We look forward to receiving your application.
