“Artists for a Cause” is the inspiration of six local artists who joined their talents to create an annual fine art show and sale to benefit a chosen local charity. This year’s recipient charity is The Associates of the Redlands Bowl. The 2009 show will be held on Sunday, November 15, from 1 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the home of Adele Johnson, 560 Terracina, Redlands, CA. 20% of the total sales are forwarded to the chosen charity each year.
Application
The founding members of Artist for a Cause look forward to selecting guest artists each year to enhance the variety of high quality art available at this show. Artist applicants are juried according to the quality of their product, complement to the other art presented in the show, and ability to enhance a show setting in a historic Victorian house. The jurying process includes both completion of a written application and submission of 3 or more pieces of work that represent the quality and style of art to be presented at the show. All art mediums must be juried to be allowed in the show. This is a fine art show and no crafts will be accepted for consideration, and must solely be the work of the submitting artist.
Acceptance
Upon acceptance into the 2009 “Artists for a Cause” Show and Sale, each artist will pay a $40.00 non-refundable entry fee. Each artist will be assigned a display location. Outdoor spaces are 10′ by 10′ and artists must provide their own canopy or EZ-up and tables. Indoor space allotments will vary according to the house configuration. The fees are combined to cover the cost of advertising, promotions, and production expenses. The 2009 guest artists will be featured on all advertising material. Post card invitations are sent to an established mailing list. Post cards and digital posters are given to each artist so that they can notify patrons from their own mailing list.
