Sunday June 22, 2008 —- Announcing Every Women’s Arts and Crafts SUMMER Festival at the St. Augustine Pier Beach Pavilion on Sunday June 22, 2008 – 10am to 5pm!
Local and regional artists display and sell a variety of fine art and hand-crafted items. Visitors will discover fine art original paintings in oils, acrylics and watercolors; hand-made beaded and semiprecious stone jewelry; hand-poured scented candles; hand-made home décor items; note cards and prints; mosaics, garden art; woodworking, gourd-craft, mermaids, stained glass, recycled creations, plants, textiles, organic pet treats and toys, and more!
This show remains an open forum for artists wishing to display their work in a loving and supportive atmosphere. There are no juries, or severe regulations - artists and craftspeople of all ages are welcome, including children. The only requirement to be considered for participation is that the items are hand-made and created by the artist – not bought and then resold or a home party business. Past shows have included a good cross section of amateur and professional artists working in a variety of mediums.
Any women artists/crafters interested in the Holiday Festival held annually in December should visit the web-site and send an email to LaDonna Eastman, the Event Coordinator. The Summer Festival filled to maximum vendor capacity by May 20! So make contact early at www.everywomansart.moonfruit.com
Advisory committee members include past event coordinators, Malorie Shannon and Marianne Campbell - Event Volunteers this summer are Shellie and Shonas Kibbee, and Sandra Klinge – all local crafters and artists.
This summer there will be music provided by “In the Mood” - two women with guitars. For those interested in being on the advisory committee and/or volunteering, please contact LaDonna via email at … everywomansart@yahoo.com.
Admission to the festival is free and open to the public! This is a great place to find one of a kind, locally crafted Items for friends, family… or yourself! Beats Mal-Wart hands down!
