Call for Artists

MARKED TREE VINEYARD SHOW
The Art League of Henderson County will have an activity/information/exhibit booth (10 x 10) at the
Marked Tree Vineyard weekend event on June 12 & 13, 2021. Artists are needed to demonstrate at the event to showcase the varied talents of Art League members.
Demonstrating artists may display and sell their work but will need to provide panels or tables to hang or
put the work on. Non-demonstrating artists are also invited to participate by exhibiting their artwork during the event. All work will be for sale. The number of paintings that each artist can exhibit will depend on the available
space coupled with the number of artists participating. Artists, if displaying artwork, will need to work
the booth at shifts during show to handle sales and to disseminate information about the Art League to
the public. This will be a fine opportunity to attract new members and promote our workshops.
A volunteer team leader is needed to coordinate the delivery of tent and panels, the booth set up and
take down, and to schedule the participating artist’s work schedule. Additional volunteers are needed to
help set up and take down the tent, tables, and panels (if used).

Drop off of paintings and booth setup is Friday, June 11. Take down is Sunday at 6 pm. Hours are 11 to 6
Saturday and 12 to 6 Sunday.

The event is hosted by the Marked Tree Vineyard and the Arts Council of Henderson County and
supported by funds from the Community Foundation of Hendersonville, the North Carolina Arts Council,
and LS Creative. This event is a fundraiser for the Arts Council and will feature local artists and
musicians. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Arts Council. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 day
of event to gain entrance to the grounds. A commemorative glass to celebrate the event will be
available while supplies last. Tickets are limited due to COVID 19 restrictions and precautions. Respect
guest/artist 6 foot space and wear your mask.
