The 12th Annual Arts on the River will be held Saturday, October 20, 2007 from 11:00 AM till 5:00 PM by the Chattahoochee River. We will be located on Front Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets, near the Columbus amphitheater and the Coca Cola Space Science Center on the Chattahoochee Promenade. The festival will include member organizations of the Columbus Cultural Arts Alliance. The event is sponsored by WTVM Channel 9 and Uptown Columbus.
Entry fees for this one day show are $75.00 per artist/per space. There are no discounts given this year. FINE ARTS ONLY WILL BE ACCEPTED, to include all paint media, artistic photography, hand thrown pottery, sculpture, fine art glass, wood, and metal work, which includes hand-crafted jewelry. Computer generated images are allowed provided no clip art is used and work is original by the artist exhibiting. Please call if you have a medium not mentioned, as limited other media are accepted. Cash awards and ribbons are offered. Each space will be at least 15' x 15' in order to accept artists' canopies plus space all around, and may be filled with your choice of display materials. Actual space only will be offered; each exhibitor will need to provide all display racks, tables and other props to accommodate the exhibit. SPACES WILL BE ASSIGNED on a first come, first served basis, with consideration for special needs and interesting presentation, and will be marked for identification. Set up time will be from 8:00 AM till 11:00 AM; each exhibitor must be ready for the judging and to show by 11:00 AM. Everyone is encouraged to make his or her space as attractive and creative as possible. Artists or their representative must remain with the exhibit. All artists are expected to stay for the entire length of the show. Those who do not may not be eligible for the next year’s show. No commission is taken by the organizers. All taxes, to include a 7% sales tax, are the responsibility of each artist. All artists are responsible for cleaning up their area. No trash must be left!
All works must be original. NO KITS, COMMERCIAL MODELS, MOLDS, PATTERNS, COPIES, CLIP ART or CUT-OUTS will be accepted, and the work must be that of the artist present. Limited edition prints may be exhibited, but must be labeled as such, signed and numbered by the artist, and are ineligible for judging or awards, with the exception of a purchase award. NO CRAFTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Artists who have NOT EXHIBITED WITH ARTS ON THE RIVER PREVIOUSLY must submit three photos or slides showing your original work. (This can also be done via e-mail.) Include a self addressed, stamped envelope only for the return of prints or slides. Entry fees should be included with the application, and will be refunded only if the artist is not accepted for the show; no money will be refunded for no-shows. There is no rain date -- the show will take place rain or shine. The organizers reserve the right to reject any works deemed not appropriate. The artist releases the organizers, the other organizations of the Cultural Arts Alliance, and any sponsors from any damages or injury incurred during the show by the exhibitor, representative thereof, or to the works exhibited.

Tents will be set up and taken down by the administrators of the event. Priority will be given to those who are unable to set up their own tent due to injury, age or other limiting factors.
