We are preparing to launch our
improved website which will include on-line application submissions for
artists!
Our on-line application feature is now slated to go live on January 31, 2012. We've been working hard to meet our Jan 7 expected launch of the online application process but have run into unexpected glitches. We are very optimistic that we will meet our Jan 31 revised date. In the meantime please consider mailing in your hard copy applications, at least for the earlier deadlines. The new site will allow for completing on-line applications for Artists, Crafters, and Speciality pre-packaged food vendors for our events. Hard copy applications will still be available if that is more convenient for you. The new website is anticipated to be ready in full by February Until the launch, see our Festival Page for the 2012 schedule so that you may pencil us in for your event weekends. Also, by the beginning of January, look for us on Facebook and Twitter. "LIKE" us on Facebook, we will be posting the latest information about each show. You can also follow Pacific Fine Arts on Twitter, @PacificFineArts.
  Applicants
who submit their California Strawberry Festival application form by the
the February 6th deadline are automatically entered into a prize
drawing for a getaway spa vacation in Napa Valley, courtesy of Shell
Vacations Club and the California Strawberry Festival Corporation.

Select "Fit to Printable Area" or "Shrink to Printable Area" then "OK". That should cause the application to print on your 8.5 x 11 paper. NOTE:

| FOR ALL OTHER EVENTS |
Follow this link to the Festival Page to download the NEW ARTIST QUESTIONAIRE. This is the first step you take to be considered for our full schedule mailing list. Once you fill this out and return it to us, we will determine if we can use your work in our shows. If so, you will be added to our database and sent our show schedule and applications. You may apply to any of our events at that time. (Jewelry and Photography are very popular categories; we aren't accepting many new artists in these media as we have trouble placing all with whom we now work.) EXCEPTIONS: The only event applications that are exceptions to this process are the California Strawberry Festival, Mountain View a La Carte & Art, Los Altos Art and Wine Festival, Connoisseurs' Marketplace, and the San Carlos Art and Wine Faire which are independently selected events. Any artist/craftsperson may apply for these and each has it's own postmark deadline. The applications to these events are also found on the Festival Page. |
