| To All Prospective Show Participants, The 2008 St. Lawrence River Rustic Show, sponsored by Creations In Wood, will be held at the Bonnie Castle Recreation Center near Alexandria Bay, NY, on August 1, 2 & 3. This show is designed to offer a venue to showcase skilled, talented designer craftspeople and fine artists. The theme of the show is "From the Mountain and the River" and is open to makers of rustic furniture, sculpture, skiffs/canoes, art, pottery, ceramics, jewelry, and items of home and cabin decor that reflect this theme. All work is to be done by the artist/maker who will show it. There is a selection process that does require photographs of your work to simply make sure it fits the stated guidelines. Sending a CD or digitals by email is preferred. Photos or CDs will be returned to you if requested on application form, otherwise they will be kept on file. After applying, you will be notified whether you have been accepted. If your application included payment for a space but does not fit the stated guidelines or the show is full, your payment will be returned in full. Additional events that will be happening at the same time as the Rustic Show include the Dingman Point Artists' Studio Tour and an antique boat show. River tours and visitors to the island destinations of both Boldt Castle and Singer Castle are part of the constant summer activity in Alexandria Bay. Please contact Dale Sears if you have any questions. I may be reached by phone: (315) 628-5868 or email: info@stlawrenceriverrusticshow.com. |
