Check it out, my friend Linda were both juried into the Lansdale Festival of the Arts on August 27! After doing some research on other Arts festivals in the area, I have learned you don’t just show up. For some, you need to submit a sample of your work to be juried on, some request a photo of yourself in action and a photo of your booth, and of course there is usually a hefty fee involved, upwards of $100+. With today’s economy and no guarantee on any return on that kind of investment, needless to say, there are a couple of arts festivals that I am not even trying for. I have the rest of the summer to prepare for the three arts festivals I am participating in starting with the Lansdale Arts Fest (the only juried one) in August, and then Doylestown Art Fest (with the DPC Photography Club), September 10&11, and Dublin Arts Fest, September 17&18. And it is not all about the Art Festivals either, let’s not forget about the local craft festivals. There are quite a few popular ones in the Bucks County area that run during September/October/November. I’ll try to remember to post dates as they become available. I guess I know what I will be doing this summer . . . matting, framing and of course shooting =)
So mark your calendars for August 27 and come by and see Linda and I in action!
