Chairmens' Message
The Bon Air Artists Association is more excited that ever to be sponsoring Art Affair.
Every year we try to make Art Affair even better. This year we are making a few changes in our application process.
For the first time we are accepting application images on CDs . They must be jpegs (3 MB maximum) with the size of the art work included on the CD. Artists may send slides if they prefer. Although the deadline for applications is June 1, we will accept late applications with an additional $10.00 processing fee until the show is full.
We can help arrange for tent rental and set up.
All of the wonderful things that make Art Affair so successful will remain. We will be advertising heavily in the Richmond metropolitan area. Generous monetary awards will be given to outstanding artists chosen by our judge. You may set up on Friday afternoon after 1:00 pm if you wish. Students will be available to help you set up on Saturday. Stony Point Fashion Park will provide security (work may not be left up over night). There will be the option of ordering lunches both days. Volunteers will be on site to watch your space while you take a break. And we will still have our wonderful potty trailer with hot and cold running water.
We all look forward to seeing you on October 17th and 18th, 2009!
