Description
Enclosed is the application for the “14th annual” ArtFest of Scottsdale, one of the top rated “Fine Art” Festivals in Arizona by artists, according to national and regional trade publications. This festival is attended by residents from all over the Phoenix area who look forward to this festival each year and tourist from around the country. Due to changes in the festival area there will be a few less artist booths. All of ArtFest of Scottsdale is located at the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall (Plaza), which features numerous art sculptures, rolling green lawns, sparkling fountains, gorgeous flowers, stately trees and meandering walkways. This is the same location where the March Festival of the Arts is held, except we do not use the parking lots around City Hall. The festival will be held on Saturday, November 17th and Sunday, November 18th, 2007, from 10am to 5pm. This popular plaza also borders Scottsdale’s Old Town shopping area, which attracts a high percentage of Scottsdale’s annual 7.1 million plus visitors. The City of Scottsdale residents are the most affluent citizens in Arizona.
The ArtFest of Scottsdale features 175 fine artists, with jazz and contemporary entertainment, plus great food and a hands-on children’s area in magnificent surroundings. Parking is close and FREE. All the parking around Scottsdale City Hall is available for parking.
Festival advertising includes local radio, television and print media along with calendar listings in many publications and websites to promote the festival. Email messages and post cards are sent to 1000s of past festival attendees, with a select group receiving VIP passes. Featured artists will have a photo of their artwork and their bio listed in this year’s press releases and website promotions. Several featured artists will be interviewed on local TV stations. The festival program and poster will also feature these artists. Festival signs and banners will be placed around the festival site so that they are visible from the main streets. The festival will be listed by the Scottsdale CVB as an event to visit.
Again this year you will have a choice of options for the space fees; option one will be less expensive and require a 5% commission due after the Festival, option two will be more with NO commission due.
If you have any questions please call us at ( or write us at P.O. Box 3258, Tempe, AZ 85280-3258. You can also e-mail us at . We look forward to receiving your application and hope to see you in Scottsdale in November!
Sincerely,
Frank Maguire
