Greetings, programs! This is Cindy Woods and Heather Mikkelsen, Co-Chairs for the Farpoint Art Show. We are looking forward to a great Art Show and we hope you’ll be joining us! Farpoint 2013 will be held February 15th, 16th, and 17th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Timonium, Maryland! Below is a list of artists we have displayed at Farpoints in the past: Burt Aulisio http://www.galacticart.com/ and http://jaderunya.deviantart.com/gallery/ Peri Charlifu http://www.flickr.com/photos/63324341@N00/ Sarah Clemens www.clemensart.com John Kaufmann www.jek2004.com Kerry Maffeo www.fantasticvisions.blogspot.com Nancy Maffeo http://www.gothartbyheart.blogspot.com Theresa Mather www.rockfeatherscissors.com Carla Morrow www.acrylicdragon.com Angela Rose necropolis.dreamsindirt.com Bill Wright http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/bill-wright.html and many, many more! For more information on this year's Art Show, you can contact us via the following: Snail-mail: ATTN: Farpoint Art Show E-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it Here are the major points:
Our convention emphasizes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, media and Trek. To pre-register, simply send an e-mail to the above e-mail address with your name, address, whether you are a mail-in or an attending artist and how many panels and/or tables you will require. No control sheet is required until you send us your art. Mail-in artists can send us the non-attending fee and return shipping costs in advance (we won’t say no to money!) or they can send it when they send in their art. IF YOU DO NOT PRE-REGISTER, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SPACE YOU REQUEST. Registration with the convention is required; mail-in artists pay a $15.00 non-attending fee. Due to space considerations, we will be limiting the amount of art we can display: If you’d like to bring/mail in more than the above, you are welcome to do so. However, please list your pieces on your Control Sheet in order of preference in case we cannot display them all. Bid sheets will be prepared BY US for all mail-in artists. If you plan on attending the con and would like to have us prepare your bid sheets, please contact us by FEBRUARY 11, 2012. We will need an advance copy of your control sheet. We WILL AGAIN offer items for quick sale. When the Art Show opens on Saturday morning, if a piece of art has no bids on it, it may be purchased as the quick sale price. We WILL AGAIN be offering our Young Artists’ Showcase this year. If you are a budding Hildebrandt, Whelan or Rowena, and you are 12 years of age or under, we invite you to showcase your work with us! We will accept two or three pieces of artwork per artist and display them in a special area of our Art Show. Young artists who attend the convention will be allowed to hang their work at no charge; young artists who would like to mail in their work can do so as well. All we ask is return postage to mail the art back to you. By giving them a special venue, we hope to encourage budding artists to develop their talents. Our complete guidelines will be provided upon request. ART SHOW SCHEDULE: Friday: Artists’ Registration: 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM Saturday: Artists’ Registration: 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon Sunday: Art Auction: 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM*** *Art Show will close at 7:30 PM Friday night and reopen at 9:00 PM Friday night, so that the Art Show staff can participate in the opening festivities. **OR DIRECTLY AFTER THE ART AUCTION ***Please note that all registered members of the convention will be allowed to attend the auction.
