What is this?
This year, the Arts Fest will take a new form.
Instead of one day of creative festivities, sales and performances, we will host a month-long exhibition September 1st - 30th with a musical party on September 19th.
Instead of taking place in our previous location of the Ladera Community Church, the event will move to Woodside Priory on Portola Road. The Priory has a beautiful, light-filled foyer space in their Performing Arts Center called the Kriewall-Haehl Gallery.
All arts and crafts will be accepted, but preference will be given to the most creative, more artsy pieces.
All content must be appropriate for children as well as adults.
Kriewall-Haehl Gallery
Woodside Priory School
302 Portola Road
Portola Valley, CA 94028
Gallery hours are
8am-4pm Monday-Friday.
How to Submit Your Work
How to Submit Your Work
You have until August 1st to send 3 images of your most fabulous creations to:
Include dimensions and approximately how much they weigh if the work is heavy.
As long as submissions and work are received on time, ready to hang, etc., past participants in the PV Arts Fest are guaranteed a place in the exhibition.
I am sorry, but that also means non-Arts-Fest folks are not eligible for participation this year. But see you next year!
Favorites will gradually be chosen starting in June and artists will be notified on a rolling basis which piece has been selected.
For the small sign by your work in the exhibition, please include:
Your name as you want it displayed
Title of the piece or "Untitled"
Materials used to make it
Year created if you want
Whether the work is for sale
Link to your website, social, etc. if you want
Any sort of artist's statement or additional information on the work is optional
The show will be hung on August 31st and taken down October 1, so you will need to ensure you or a surrogate will be able to drop off and pick up your work on those days.
If your work can not be hung on a wall or safely set on a table, you may need to provide a way to display it. Let's talk about it.
A note about security:
This space is open daily during school hours and is freely accessed by the public and Priory community without a specific guard or staffer keeping watch over the work. That being said, the gallery is in the heart of the school where even the Louvre heist thieves would likely be noticed. Exhibitions at the gallery are in constant rotation with no history of any safety issues over all its years. There is a lockable display case for jewelry and the building is locked at 8:00 pm daily if not before.
A note about gallery fees:
Although I am sorry to depart from the no-cut policy on sales at the Arts Fest, we would like to support the Priory and follow their policies. The Kriewall-Hael Gallery is very modest in their request of a 10% donation from each sale.

What a great chance to hang out with each other with no booth to worry about!
Why the change?
Why the change?
There are several reasons for this temporary change, but all come down to a desire to make things simpler this year.
(I will be traveling for more than a month during the busy organizing period of the summer. Our lovely exhibitions' coordinator retired from the role. I've got fewer and fewer kids at home to boss around for help. Our dear Ladera Community Church will be undergoing an extensive landscaping upgrade the end of the summer... )
But this opportunity at the Priory seems a great silver/gold! lining -- fun and more relaxed for everyone.
