What your booth fee provides:

1. The booth fee includes a small amount for postage in sending you your show packet if you have been selected to be in the show. You do not have to provide a self-addressed stamp envelope. We want to make your life easy so we will use our envelopes and postage for a minimal fee. (approximately $3.00 to $4.00 depending on the existing postage rates) We will return photos/cd's.
2. Booth Fees have sales tax included in the total, therefore your booth fee will not be taxed above the amount posted.
3. Advertising - our events will have press releases in all the local publications which includes newspapers, informational publications (e.g., Velocity, Natural Awakenings, Sunshine Artists, etc.) and/or city publications (whichever may have more beneficial saturation - e.g. Ocala Style, Gainesville Today, aXisOrlando, Orlando Magazine, etc.).
4. Event posters will be posted in shops that are located in any plaza where a show may be scheduled - or close to the vicinity of the show. Our goal is to put up the posters two months in advance. Lawn signs will attempt to be put up one weekend in advance. Event posters will be posted in any area close to the show location - local code enforcement laws will be adhered to which may prevent some areas from being utilized.
5. One billboard (minimum) in a beneficial location will be hired to announce an event.
6. If possible one commercial will be run on the local cable company's channel - PSA style.
7. Artists are not required to have liability insurance - Artistic Walk Events will provide liability coverage for each show and fees are covered in booth fee, however, this does not prevent a customer from personal suits should a mishap take place. Artists should always check into protecting their business with their insurance agents.
8. We at Artistic Walk Events reserve the right to plan different ways to spoil our artists. Do not be surprised to see a masseuse/masseur if the budget allows. Our goal is to make artists feel special, and show them how much we appreciate their artistic talents be it by special awards or other unique surprises. We will have as many anmenities as possible including booth sitting, water, and gift bags - which all depends on the event budget. Our first priority is advertising - without that we wouldn't have a show!
9. Our partnership with special groups may prevent some budgetary perks. Several shows are planned to donate funds to worthy causes. We understand that some artists look forward to show perks but ask them to understand that donations to art galleries, or needs of a community may be a sacrifice that is necessary. Working with a non-profit group may enable us to host a show in locations that would not allow a for profit group.
10. Prizes or award monies will be announced in September 2009. If you are looking for a show that gives out major prize money, I would ask that you understand we are growing. We are currently working on securing more contracts for four more shows which will enable our prize amounts to grow over time. As a promoter, I would rather spend the money to bring you the customers than to give out awards. My goal is to try to bring you sales, which is more of a priority than show prizes.
11. We will choose five "featured artists" to be in our advertising, and local newspapers' articles. This will give you the opportunity, if chosen, to speak to several different news reporters to print how you use your creativity to bring different aspects into your art, and the communities will be able read about you. This is a huge draw for crowds and enables you to draw sales to your art work. It is equivalent to being a featured artist in a "gallery" show.
12. Artists are responsible for collecting and reporting Florida Sales Tax for Marion County which is currently .065%.
