Art on Sunset Guidelines
 
About the Selection Process

Art on Sunset is a Juried event. Participating artists are chosen according to how well their work fits into the scope of the show, how well it is represented in the application, and the quality of the goods. All applicants will be notified by email regarding the status of their application no later than February 1, 2008. Only accepted vendors may participate in the show. You will receive an e-mail prior to the event letting you know where to set up. Vendors are not to share booth space with another artist unless approved by the coordinator in advance. 
Because we receive many more applications than there are spaces in the show, we cannot accept every vendor who applies. After the deadline, the applications are reviewed by The Randolph Arts Guild.  Art on Sunset vendors must be approved by the Randolph Arts Guild and must make the items that they sell. Items brought to Art on Sunset should be original in nature (or, in some cases, be substantially altered/customized by the artist) and are to not to be made from kits, molds or massed produced. The items brought to Art on Sunset are to be made by the approved artists ( i.e.: no selling of someone else’s handmade or commercially manufactured products.) Be prepared to show or accurately describe samples of the items offered for sale. Please ask before you email and submit application.  The application deadline is January 15, 2008. Late applications will not be accepted.  Applications with three images of work to be sold can be emailed to arts@asheboro.com or printed and mailed to:
