Artist Deadline - Get your applications in ASAP!

Our Artist/Crafter deadline is just a few days away (June 30th)! So if you haven't already, mail your application in ASAP!

(http://www.findtheriver.net/ROL_Ministries/SmFest08app_NEWArtists.pdf to upload the application and info.)

But if you miss the deadline, what then?!?! Well, we usually have space available and will accept late applications in any categories that weren't filled after the first jury round (done shortly after the June 30th deadline). So if it's July already, and you're thinking "oh no!" then please, by all means inquire, and hopefully we'll still have a place for you.

We're looking forward to reviewing all of the creative applications, and hope yours is amongst them! Best of luck! ~ The SummerFest Team :)

PS - If you have questions, you can email stcollection@juno.com or call River of Life at 651.484.8737. Thanks!

(A sampling of some of our artists from past years...)We are looking for family-friendly original, high-quality, handmade, hand-embellished, or originally designed product of all types - from fine art to quality craft. The event is juried to keep quality high and avoid extensive overlap in any given category.

Outdoor event with 10x10 space

75% of our artists who filled out a survey last year rated their participation in the event an 8 or higher out of 10! We hope you'll consider the opportunity of joining them this year. :)

Please click here: http://www.findtheriver.net/ROL_Ministries/SmFest08app_NEWArtists.pdf"> to download a pdf of the artist application and info packet.

This is a well-organized, enjoyable event for quality artists and crafters. We market the event with 2000+ full color postcards, professional signage, and multiple ads. It is our hope that all artists participating have the best experience possible.

*(please contact us if you find this info after June 30th. We may have spots available and can consider late-applications if your category is not yet full.)
