Dear
Artist,
Because
this year’s 41st Annual Sidewalk Art Show on October 6th
is coming on the heels of our move to the Chapman Cultural Center,
SAM’s resources are stretched to the point where we’re
having to cut back on some of the normal activities associated
with this event. This year, SAM will NOT hold the Juried
Component of the show.
Instead,
for this year only, The Artists’ Guild of Spartanburg
will organize artwork to hang on the fence in a noncompetitive
format. Guild members whose membership is current, will
be able to display 2 pieces of artwork of their choice (as usual,
some restrictions apply). Guild membership is open to artists
who reside in Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens, Union, Cherokee,
Polk and Rutherford counties. Annual dues are $30 which may be
paid the day of the show. For any works sold, a 40% commission
will be collected to benefit the Guild. For more information,
contact Gibson Smith at 486-8994 or at gibsmith@innova.net.
SAM WILL have Vendor Booth spaces for artists.
A 10’x10’ booth space is $100. Vendor Booth Artists
will be responsible for setting up their space and no commission
on sales will be charged. The Art School @ SAM will provide free
art activities for children and demonstrations for the public
including painting, pottery, mixed media, and jewelry-making.
We anticipate over 10,000 people in attendance for both the Sidewalk
Show and The International Festival, so this is a great opportunity
to show and sell your artwork. For more information or
to reserve a space, please contact Nathan Galloway in the Museum
Office at 582-7616 or office@spartanburgartmuseum.org.
We look forward
to seeing you,
The Spartanburg Art Museum
