Fellow artists!  

I am sending out this call for artists to random ANA members to see if you are
interested in applying for a booth at Fayetteville's First Thursday.  Brian Bailey of the
Fayetteville Convention and Visitors Bureau is in charge of the process.  There will be
a charge each month for a booth, except during the kick-off month of April, which is
April First.  It will be set-up "farmers market style" in front of the East Square Plaza
building on the Fayetteville Square.  Brian is looking for 2d artists and has a limited
number of booths available.  I have already secured him two painters.  He has plenty
of sculptors, potters, jewelry artists and handmade card creators.

This will not be a "crafts fair"!  Artists will be juried for admission so you can rest
assured this will be quality work.  You would be responsible for all your needs,
including tables, chairs, exhibit walls and/or easels, etc.  Set-up would be at 4:00pm,
ready to go at 5:00pm and end at 8:00pm, with removal by 8:30pm.  All art must be
family friendly.

I hope you will seriously consider getting involved in the Fayetteville First Thursday.  I
highly recommend doing this, as I would participate if I was in town.  If you cannot be
involved, please pass this on to someone who would be interested.

Brian can be reached at 479-521-5776.  Call TODAY for an application!
Carol Roberts has one opening in
her oil painting class. If you are
interested,  

Please contact her for more
information at 479-442-4493 or
