The Suncoast
Arts Fest
is a production of The Fine Arts of the Suncoast, Inc.,
a Florida not-for-profit 501(c)(3) with the mission to "promote
cultural awareness in Pasco County."
The 2009 Suncoast Arts Fest
committee hired a professional TV cameraman to make the
3 videos you will see throughout this site... and what a
huge difference seeing the event, as if live, has made
for us this year! Because of the success we have
experienced from the videos, we wanted to make this
customized personal opportunity available to our
esteemed artists to help YOU promote your art and
yourself with a professionally edited video!
Albright Productions, Inc. has
agreed to be available at the Suncoast Arts Fest in
Wesley Chapel if we have a minimum of eight (8) artists
that would like to be filmed. The cost for filming the
1-2 minute video (sample video shown above) is $295/per
artist, and this includes professional editing and a
final CD. Because of the time needed for these shoots,
we can only accommodate a maximum of 14 artists.
The videographer will spend between
45 to 60 minutes with each artist wishing to be filmed.
(and, don't worry... we will have volunteers available
for artist breaks throughout January 23rd and 24th!)
The final edited CD will be sent to
you within 1 month after the event. This video can be
downloaded to your site and any sites you wish, can also
be copied and e-mailed to prospective clients, and any
videos made at the event will stay on the Suncoast Arts
Fest artists page for one year after the 2010 Suncoast
Arts Fest!
Approximately one hour of
shooting to include:
interview with the artist
reaction to your work from
art patrons

Suncoast Arts Fest(SAF) Rules
SAF is a family oriented
cultural event. Artwork exhibited must be
appropriate for viewers of all ages. The SAF committee has the
sole exclusive and final authority to determine if any work is not
acceptable for display.
To maintain the integrity
of the show as a fine art and fine craft show, all works must be
original, executed by the applying artist, created by hand and not
mass produced. "Buy/Sell" or embellishments on commercial
items is absolutely prohibited.
Each artist is required to
provide a standard white 10'x10' artist's tent. Spaces of
approximately 11'x12' will be provided for each tent. All
spaces are on streets and tents must be secured by weights only - no
tent stakes are allowed. Tent canopies may extend out, but presented
artwork must be within or hanging from the tent.
Due to the late hoursd
This year, we will be allowing a late Friday evening and early
Saturday morning check-in and set up.

Electric is available for lighting on Saturday evening. Artists must
have own cords and lights and must request electric.
Artists must exhibit and
be present during the entire show,(10a.m.-7p.m. on Saturday and 11a.m.-4p.m.
on Sunday.)
Work displayed and sold must be consistent with the type of work
submitted with the application. Sales agents, representatives and proxies will not
be permitted.
Florida sales tax must be collected on all sales made during the
show.
Out of respect to fellow exhibitors, each artist must secure his/her
booth to withstand all weather conditions and large crowds. Please
have tent weights in case of wind.
No artist may infringe on another's space.
Every effort will be made to allow the artists to drive up to their
space to load/unload. However, be prepared to dolly your
display to your space. Artist parking will be located in lots
convenient to the booth but not at each booth space.
Electricity is not available for artists.
Please understand planning takes time and your
accepted application is a commitment to participate in the Suncoast Arts Fest. Once
accepted, we expect you to honor your contract. Otherwise, we are
in a bind once programs and press releases have been printed and distributed.
Our success depends on you, just as your success depends on festivals. We
are committed to your success and we appreciate the same regard from you.
Keep in mind that the current economic market may not support only
high ticket items, so be sensitive to providing a wide range of
price points to the show patrons.
All bin work must be matted, and all displayed work must be matted
and framed or otherwise appropriately finished. We are trying
to create an outdoor museum/gallery environment.

original artwork which you created. While we understand that "Repros"
are the bread and butter of your sales, this rule will be strictly
enforced.
