May 2017 Greetings Artists, Lake Oswego s Craft in the Park: Fine Art and Craft show is just around the corner on June 23, 24, and 25, 2017. We are excited to see you on Thursday, June 22 for registration and set-up at George Rogers Park. Our volunteers and staff strive to make your Festival experience enjoyable and profitable. The Festival is a public family event, and as such, we offer something for everyone. We use this criterion to select Craft in the Park artists, entertainment, and food. Craft in the Park Dates and Hours Friday, June 23, 10:00 am 8:00 pm * Saturday, June 24, 10:00 am 8:00 pm* Sunday, June 25, 10:00 am 5:00 pm * Festival remains open until 9:00 pm New for 2017 Introducing Our New Craft in the Park Curator. Christopher St. John has joined the Festival Steering Committee this year as my shadow and will curate Craft in the Park in 2018. He has worked successfully as a professional artist for the past 16 years and brings tremendous care and compassion to the committed work those artists and makers do. After only a few months on the job, he is proving himself a great asset to the Festival. Please welcome Christopher as he introduces himself to you during the Festival. Name Change. We changed our show name to Craft in the Park: Fine Art and Craft. This is a subtle change to focus on attracting more craft artists to participate in the show. Booth Number Your booth number was emailed to you from alerts@entrythingy.com. To find your booth location, see the George Rogers Park map below. We continue to use the popular quad layout so every booth is a corner. Booths are assigned to provide a balanced mix of media. We aimed to accommodate your individual requests, as we were able. If your booth is in row B, C, D, E, F, or G, please familiarize yourself the Quad Booth Layout below. Contents of this Packet (scroll down to see the documents in this mailing) George Rogers Park Map. The lower portion of the map (southwest area) is where the booth show takes place. The two parallel lines just above the booth area indicate the fire lane that must remain free and clear. Quad Booth Layout. This illustrates how to set up your canopy within the quad in order to take advantage of the storage space. Artists may use a 2-foot x 10-foot storage space behind their canopy. Artists who hold a double booth space are asked to center their booth across the two-booth area leaving a 2-foot area behind their booth for shared storage. We recommend you and your neighbors collaborate to share the space equitably. This layout does not apply to artists in Row A since they have ample storage space behind their booths. Directions to George Rogers Park. This describes directions to George Rogers Park from the four cardinal directions. NOTE: During the Festival, the only vehicle approach to George Rogers Park is to turn east on Wilbur Street (two blocks north of the park), then right on Furnace Street and right on Green Street. Parking Tips. These tips are for artists and their customers. Please share the customer tips with your collectors, patrons, friends, and family. Vendors & Volunteers: Exclusive Shuttle Information. During the Festival, exhibiting artists must park off-site at Hallinan Elementary School or Marylhurst University. This page shows maps, directions, shuttle stops, and hours for off-site parking. 1

Artist Process Statement The Festival is an arts education event. We expect you to display a process statement in your booth that includes your photo and images that illustrate the process and materials you use.

Artist Availability Artists must keep their booths open during Craft in the Park hours regardless of weather. Artists must be available in the booth during these hours. Please remember that the artist whose work is juried in must be present during the show. We encourage art demonstrations. Booth Sitting Booth sitters are available to provide 10-15 minute artist breaks during the day. If you requested a booth sitter on your Artist Acceptance form, you can expect a booth sitter to come by and give you a 10-15-minute break. Day-of booth sitting appointments are available on a first come, first served basis.
