24th Annual Summer Art Festival
July 19 and 20, 2008
We're happily planning this year's Art Festival -- our 24th-annual event.
Artists have been screened and food vendor applications are being reviewed, and those accepted will be notified soon. We've also selected the winning illustration to adorn this year's promotional materials, from artwork submitted by local high school students. Congratulations to Ariana Smith, a sophmore at Peninsula High School.
Changes for 2008:
- Exhibitors must have their own insurance.
- All booths must be fireproof. There will be an inspection by the Gig Harbor Fire Marshall prior to the opening of the Festival. Booths that are not fireproof will be disallowed, and the artist will be required to leave. No refunds will be given.
- All exhibitors are required to have a fire extinguisher (in working condition) in their booth.
- All booths and their contents must be secured against possible wind damage.
- No smoking will be allowed on the festival grounds, per orders of the Fire Department.
Questions about the Summer Art Festival should be directed to Festival Chair Carol Valstyn - (253) 265-8139 or email cfvalstyn@comcast.net.
Concurrent with the Festival, we'll present a weekend-long exhibition of new work by PAL members at the nearby Key Bank. Thanks to Key Bank for hosting the exhibition and for their continued support of our organization.
Profits from our Summer Art Festival provide art scholarships for local students and PAL members, and are returned to the community through our shows and exhibitions. Additionally, every year we hold a competition among local high school art classes for the design of our Festival poster and other promotional materials. Cash prizes are awarded to the top three entries, and the winning illustration is used on our festival poster and other promotional materials.
