Art Festival Gift Cards
To stimulate art buying at the festival, Amdur Productions sells and gives away $25 gift cards to attendees! Please honor the $25 gift card as payment. Patrons must use each $25 gift card in whole and not in part (no change is given). Then fill out your name on the gift card and bring it to an Amdur Productions’ staff member. We will reimburse you the amount with cash right at the festival!
Bring A Water Bottle!
In an initiative to be eco-friendly and reduce our carbon footprint, instead of plastic water bottles, we will have a water refill station in our festival office.
ProPanel Renters
Artists renting our propanels are responsible for their own hanging equipment. Here’s a great resource for ways to hang your artwork: https://www.propanels.com/product-category/hanging-systems/
Are You Demonstrating On Site?
Let us know so we can talk about it in our PR and community outreach!
Purple Ribbon Project
Join Amdur Productions in supporting WINGS Program, Inc., an organization dedicated to ending domestic violence through housing, advocacy, and education. Artists can pick up a purple ribbon at check-in and place it on select pieces in their booth. If the marked piece sells, the artist donates a portion of the sale to WINGS. Donations can be made at wingsprogram.com/donate—please write “Amdur Productions” when asked how you heard about WINGS. Thank you for participating!
