Meet the Artists - Frisco

Meet the Artists-Frisco (MTA) is a juried art festival held in conjunction with the Town of Frisco's annual Fallfest event on September 12-13, 2015. The festival takes place in Frisco Historical Park on Main Street at an altitude of 9,100 feet. Only 34 artist booths are allowed. Fallfest features live music on Saturday and all-day performances by local singer/songwriters in the Historic Park Gazebo on Sunday, along with a "Taste of Frisco" food tent and beer and wine sales both days.

Booth spaces are 10 x 10 (single) or 10 x 20 (double). Artists must provide their own free-standing display booth and are responsible for protection from sun, wind, and rain. Weights are required to protect booths in case of high winds; no staking is allowed. Electricity is limited and provided upon request on a first-come, first-served basis. Artists may request specific booth locations or corner booths based on application receipt date; the Summit County Arts Council reserves the right to assign booths based on art medium and genre.

The jury fee is $25 (non-refundable). Booth fees are $275 for a single booth or $500 for a double booth, due one week after acceptance. Artists from all US states are encouraged to apply. All work must be original and produced directly by the artist. Attendance by the artist is required both days of the event. Applicants must submit four digital images: three showing individual pieces representative of current work and one of their display and booth setup. A brief artist statement describing artwork, process, and experience is requested. Setup occurs Friday, September 11th from 1-5 pm, with additional setup time Saturday morning. All artists must be set up and open by 10 am each day. Show hours are Saturday 10 am-6 pm and Sunday 10 am-4 pm. Coffee and doughnuts are provided to artists each morning, and booth sitters are available to help during breaks.
