65th Waterford Home Tour and Red Barn Exhibit and Art Mart

I have never been involved in this show, but Waterford is a pretty artsy place -- so I understand. Some very fine artists, like Trisha Adams, exhibit at this show. Website: http://www.waterfordfoundation.org/fair/index.html


Here's the scoop:


Red Barn Exhibit, October 3, 4, & 5, 2008
The Red Barn Exhibit is a juried show. Artists are allowed to enter two pieces for consideration for $15. They take 25% commission if works sell. Work can't be larger than 36" x 36"
Submission Deadline is September 1. Delivery date of accepted work is September 26 & 27, 2nd Floor, Red Barn (sorry no address given, but prospectus has directions). Pick up unsold work on October 5 from 5-6pm or October 6, 10 am -12 pm.


The Art Mart
Also part of the Waterford event is the Art Mart. This event is limited to works of $400 or less. No work can be larger than 36 x 36. Work in the Art Mart cannot be duplicated for the Red Barn Exhibit. You can enter as many pieces as you like!!! This show costs $15 for an unlimited number of entries (but the $15 fee is separate from the Red Barn Exhibit). Delivery dates are September 26 & 27. Just show up with your work--no jurying--super cool. Special rules for large volume entries. Pick up unsold work on October 5 from 5-6 pm or October 6, 10 am - 12 pm.


Student Art Exhibit
Finally at the Waterford event there is a Student Art Exhibit. The show is open to Loudoun County residents who are seniors in high school or who have just graduated. The Florence Kiley Fellowship is awarded at this event and the winner gets to exhibit his/her piece at the Red Barn Exhibit. It appears there is only one winner who get exhibited. The winner also gets $2,500--NICE. Delivery of Art: September 26 at the Tin Shop, 15481 Second St. 10 am - 2 pm. Pick up of non-winning entries is September 29, 30 and Oct 1, 10 am - 4pm
