First, the sad news:  there won't be an Arts in the Autumn Festival in 2007.  Our church renovation/expansion project that will extend through the fall makes it logistically impossible to hold the festival.

Now the good news:  as a result of the current construction project, the venue for the 2008 will be larger and better than ever before.  Additionally, the committee is working on ways to improve the festival, so that we can attract the most talented artists in the area as well as the largest audience possible.

To this end, the next Arts in the Autumn Festival will be a juried show held in the fall of 2008.  In addition to the juried show, we're hoping to organize a Grab-and-Go sale.  The idea behind the Grab-and-Go sale is that buyers can take the work they purchase immediately - and not have to wait until the show ends.  We anticipate that work for this sale will be reasonably small - small enough to carry, and be priced under $100.   

Invitations to participate in both the juried show and the Grab-and-Go sale will be sent to the artists approximately 8 weeks before the show.  The materials will outline the application procedure as well as specifications for size, media, etc.  The materials will also describe how the work will be juried.
