RULES FOR CHALK ARTISTS
Deadline for
chalk artist applications – January 15, 2012
The 2012 Suncoast Arts Fest (SAF) is free and open to
the general public on Sat. January 21st from 10am-6pm and Sunday January 22nd
from 11
am-5pm. The event is held at the Shops at Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel, FL
close to the Rt. 56 exit off of I-75. Last year there were over 101,000
attendees for the weekend.
This event is a family oriented cultural event and as
such, the SAF reserves the right to deem any submission as inappropriate and
request the artist submit another artwork for inclusion in the event.
PASTEL CHALK is the medium. The use of any other
materials is forbidden with the exception of diluted tempera paint, in
primary colors, to be used only as a thin wash of undercoat to your street
painting.
All chalk artist applicants MUST include an
image of the specific work they plan to execute for the Suncoast Arts Fest
(SAF) in their application package. This may be a printed photograph, a file
on a CD or a sketch. It cannot be a slide. The image will not be returned.
The image executed at the event must be
essentially the same as the submitted image.
An application fee of $20 per artist should be included
with the application package.
The executed image may be either 1) an original work or
2) an historic art reproduction. If you plan on doing an art reproduction,
please include specific details (example: Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci/16th
century Italian)
No political or commercial advertisements, statements
or logos are allowed except as requested by SAF as part of sponsorship
packages.
Works produced are temporary.
A basic set of multicolor pastel chalk will be provided
by SAF. Plan ahead! Please plan to bring additional amounts of colors
represented in large areas of your image
Financial information –
- Chalk artists are not allowed to sell items or
artwork. However, self-promotion with a portfolio of work is acceptable
and recommended during the event
- Prizes (TBA) will be awarded
- Tip jars will be provided for each image and may
be used at the artist’s discretion
- There is an application fee - $20 for individual
artists, $30 for groups
CHALK ARTIST CHECK-IN is Saturday Jan. 21s from 8:30am-10am.
You will be assigned your drawing space and receive your pastels at that
time. Upon application acceptance, more specific information will be
provided by email.
There will be a chalk art area for youth under high
school age (14 and under). There is no application necessary for students of
that age. High school students who wish to apply to be part of the adult
Chalk Art Show must fill out the entire application as well as the Student
