ACCEPTABLE ART WORK: Handmade original artwork in a variety of media is acceptable. No kits or mass-produced items or imports; no "country" items, no live plants, no food items. Artists must be present to sell their work; no agents and reps. Photomechanical reproductions of paintings may comprise only 25% of work on display. The Festival jury will select participants on the basis of five (5) 35mm slides of their work and (1) slide showing booth display. No exceptions! The jury is seeking originality, quality and excellent craftsmanship in the work to be exhibited in order to maintain the high standards of this festival. Slides must be representative of the work to be shown and, as they are the sole basis of selection, must be top quality. Poor slides will result in your not being accepted. Your name should be clearly marked on each slide. Slides must be in appropriate-size plastic slide sheets - no whole sheets, please. A slide of your booth (preferably at a show) must be included.
