Greetings to all returning SHOWCASE Artists and a warm welcome to new artists venturing into the SHOWCASE world for the first time!
Last year's SHOWCASE was a great success thanks to all of our incredible artists. We are very excited for SHOWCASE 2010. We are continuing to expand on both the audience and artist base from last year's event and hope that you will plan on joining us again this year.
GENERAL ARTIST INFORMATION:
Booths are assigned on a FIRST-PAID basis. You will be placed on the list in the order that your payments are received IN FULL.
Deadline for Artist Registration is Friday, August 6, 2010.
Exhibit Booth Choice:
If you register before Friday, June 25, 2010, Artists are allowed to choose up to four (4) preferred booth numbers to occupy during SHOWCASE. If your first booth choice is taken or is next to an artist with a similar discipline, you will be given your next available choice. If all of your four (4) choices are either taken or near an artist with a similar discipline, our SHOWCASE staff will attempt to put you as close to your first choice as possible.
