For Artists Only

Welcome!
We look forward to your application and, eventually, seeing you here in Paducah!
 
Some things you want to know about this Festival are:
  1. We take the Jury Process very seriously. We want you to be comfortable in the company of other excellent Artists and Craftspeople and, above all,  we are looking for creativity and quality of personal execution in your craft.
  2. We are mostly Artists ourselves (not full-time Promoters) and so you can look forward to really great Hospitality.
  3. The applications are available on Zapplication. Signing up for Zapplications is free to the individual Artist and, if you take a moment to do this, then applying to individual shows is just a couple of clicks of the mouse! Go to www.zapplication.org to get started! The official name of our fesival is "Lower Town Arts and Music Festival" and that's how you'll find it on Zapp!
  4.  The Dates of the Festival are Friday, May 21st 2010, Saturday, May 22nd 2010, & Sunday May 23rd 2010. This is a 'rain or shine' event.
  5. The cost of applying to the show is $25. This is a non-refundable fee that covers the cost of the application service fees and the profdessional juror fees.
  6. The cost of a 10' by 10' booth space, with 300 watts of electricity included, is $150.
  7. We will be offering an "Adopt an Artist" program (home stay with neighborhood families) on a first come first served basis- information on this and other programs will be included in your acceptance packet.
  8. We have seen 8-10,000 people through the show in past years, and with this years media partnerships we expect that number to grow substantially.
  9. The economic base of the community is pretty strong, even in "this economy"... we are the regional hub for transportation of goods and host all of the major river transport companies. We are the Medical Hub of the region and have several large hospitals and medical service organizations. The local bank just recieved the results of a commissioned survey that shows 1.26 million people live within an hours drive of Paducah.
  10. We have excellant relationships and marketing co-ops with the television, radio and print media- we will enjoy favored placements with these outlets. Because of the unique emphasis on regional richness, we are geting some very noce National attention in the travel media as well.
