2010 ARTIST INFORMATION

Dear Artist:

Excitement is in the air as we gear up for our “Fifth Annual” Art on the Square” on September 11, 2010, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. Last year’s event was spectacular and we are expecting this year’s event to be even greater! Notice that our deadline to receive applications has changed to June 18th. Because of last year’s large number of artists’ responses and limited space we will be strict to our registration deadline.

All artists will be selected for entry based on the originality, workmanship and overall artistic quality of their work. It is at the discretion of AOTS for space allocation in order to best display the variety of art represented. For all returning artists, we will try to honor your wishes to exhibit in the same booth area as previously, please note on your application if that is your request.

Please send two separate payments for the following fees: This is a juried art show with a non refundable jury fee of $10. The entry fee is $50 and refundable if not selected or if you cancel by August 15, 2010. The absolute deadline for applications received is June 18, 2010. Please submit early.

Entries will be accepted in various mediums including; drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, photography, digital art, fiber, glass, 2-D & 3-D mixed media (please note: Media Category Descriptions). We will not accept any craft items, nothing made from molds or kits. Please keep in mind, because this is a kid friendly event, the AOTS organization is requesting that all nudes be of “modest taste”. AOTS reserves the right to ask artists to remove pieces that might be considered objectionable to attendees. Our judges have no affiliation with the AOTS Board and are selected to jury the entries based on their art experience and credentials. AOTS encourages all artists to apply.

Please submit your application (at least three samples of your work) on disk or photo format, and fees payable to: Art on the Square, PO Box 1560, Athens AL 35612. Applications and samples can also be dropped off at Westside Jiffy Pharmacy, 1204 West Market Street, Athens from 8am to 7pm Monday – Friday, 8 am to 5pm Saturday. For featured artist stories to help promote the AOTS events and your art, please include your photo and biography. AOTS reserves the right to choose artists to highlight at the PR panel’s discretion.

Artists are responsible for supplying their own tent, table(s) & chairs. To prevent any possible damage to the grass, we asked that you use weights to secure your tent. The booth space is 10x10. If more space is needed: please contact us at least 2 weeks prior to the event for approval.

Art on the Square thanks all returning artists for your past participation and would also like to welcome all new artists for your interest in helping us make this another great year.
