Wachusett Meadow "Heyday" Call to Artists

"Potting Shed" by Joyce Rettstadt

Event Dates: Saturday October 2 and October 3 (Rain Date)

Member artists are invited to participate in this year's Heyday Event co-sponsored by the Audubon Society and the Princeton Arts Society.

This year's event promises to be even more successful than 2009 – with more of everything including food, music, activities, and most importantly lots of attendees!

PAS has reserved most of the large barn with wonderful space for exhibiting, demonstrating, and selling art work. Lighting, tables, and chairs will be provided for artists.

PAS is inviting member artists to reserve space now by contacting Len Haug at len.haug@princeton-ma.us or 978-464-2952.

Artists can participate in one of two ways:

1. Be present for the event. Participants will have a 6 X 6 wall space with a 3 X 6 foot table and chair to exhibit their work. Participants will be asked to demonstrate their art or just be available to discuss their art with attendees. In return, participating artists can sell their work with no PAS or Audubon commission taken.

2. Not be present, but submit work to PAS for exhibiting at the Event. PAS will oversee any sales and take the standard 25% commission. In turn, PAS will share 50% of the commission taken with the Audubon Society.

Reservations are on a first come –first serve bases so contact Len Haug now to reserve your space or to indicate your interest in exhibiting a selection of your work. Don't miss out on one of the most heavily visited events in Princeton and forfeit a lot of fun and some possible sales. While we encourage art work that focuses on farm-related and rural landscape-based subjects, all categories of art and art media appropriate for family viewing is eligible for inclusion in the exhibit.

More details will be provided to participants in the coming weeks.
