Dear Artists!
We are excited you have chosen to screen for TideFest 2008! TideFest has become a Pacific Northwest tradition that has supported student activities at Gig Harbor High School for 28 years. This valuable program would not be possible without talented artists such as yourself.
Here is some information you should keep in mind before applying to TideFest 2008:
TideFest 2008
TideFest 2008 is on Saturday, December 6th from 10AM-5PM and on Sunday, December 7th from 11AM-4PM.
Online Screening
While completing your online application you must submit a total of three digital photographs. The digital photographs you submit should represent the single medium you intend to show at TideFest 2008. Screening online or in person does not increase or decrease your chances of being accepted for TideFest 2008.
Original Work
TideFest is looking for unique and original artwork sold by the creating artist. TideFest does not accept agents or manufactured items.
Information Accuracy
Please remember when completing your application all information will be used exactly as submitted. For example, if you submit "barb" as your first name and "Smith" as your last name, if accepted, your name would appear in the event program and on our website as "barb Smith."
Booth Information
All booth dimensions are 10X10 and start at 200$. Corner 10X10 booths are 230$. Electricity is provided at no additional cost. You can request a specific booth location on your application. Specific locations and requests are generally honored on a "first come, first served" basis. However, TideFest reserves the right to assign booth locations and change the layout at anytime.
Door Prizes
This is a much anticipated tradition where artists donate small gifts which are randomly awarded throughout the show to shoppers. If you are willing to donate a small gift please select "Yes" when completing the Door Prize portion of the application. Your participation in this long standing tradition is much appreciated!
Payment
If accepted, payment to secure your booth must be received by September 12th, 2008. If payment is not received by the deadline your booth will be released to an artist on the waiting list.
