CALL FOR FINE ART VENDORS
The Medina County Art League cordially invites you to participate in the 47th Annual Art in the Park fine art show. The show is set in Medina’s charming Court House Square. Artist exhibits are arranged around the park's gazebo, the focus of the historic Public Square area.
Eligibility and Jurying
A jury comprised of practicing artists, art teachers, and committee members will judge original artwork of professional quality in any medium for acceptance. No molds, kits or commercial products will be permitted. Accepted artists are expected to properly label all commercially produced reproductions. The jury requires that no more than 25% of artists display include such reproductions. An on-site jury committee will tour the show to determine artists' compliance with eligibility requirements. Those that do not comply will be asked to leave. ALL JURY DECISIONS ARE FINAL.
Exhibit Spaces and Fees
Approximately 140 artist exhibit spaces are available. Standard spaces are 10' x 10' deep, allowing ample space between booths. A limited number of double spaces are available. GENERATORS, STAKES, OR GROUND COVER ARE NOT PERMITTED! Booth Fees will be payable after jury selections have been made and can be paid through your artcall.org account. Single Space = $140, Double Space = $280

Artists are responsible for setting up their display with appropriate weather protection, keeping space free of clutter, and may not start to tear down prior to 5 pm.
