CREATIVE HAND
The Creative Hand show and sale is a co-op
show for members of the Fiber Guild and Weaver's Guild of
Kansas City. The 2008 show will be at the Sylvester Powell
Community Center in
Merriam, KS November 21 and 22. We had a banner year in 2007 with
an increase in participating artists, increase in customer attendance, and
a healthy increase in sales. We are looking forward to another successful
sale in 2008.

Application Forms are being
revised for 2008 and are not quite ready for distribution. When the final
details have been worked out, the application form will be distributed to
past Creative Hand artists and will be available on the web site. The
application forms will be available by the May meetings of Fiber Guild and
Weaver's Guild. Here is what we know so far:
 |
All artists in Creative Hand
must be current members of
Fiber Guild or Weaver's Guild and live in
Kansas or
Missouri. |
|
Application/Entry fees are in
two tiers: New category this year:
"Limited Production" artists pay a $10 entry fee and can have up to 5
items in the show.
As in previous years: "Full Production" artists pay a $50 entry fee and
can have
unlimited number of items in the show. Duplicate items from any one
artist may be held in back stock and replenished as items are sold.
Application forms and fees are due July 31, 2008. |
|
New artists will need to have their body of work juried by
the jury committee. |
|
Returning artists will need to have new work juried by the
jury committee. |
|
Each artist is required to
work on a committee to help run the show.
This is a co-op show, we need help from all artists to make the show
happen. |
|
"Limited
Production" artists are required to work one shift and
"Full Production" artists are required to work two shifts during the show. |
|
To pay our rent, publicity and
other expenses,
each sold item will have 18% of the retail price retained by Creative
Hand.
The remaining 82% will be paid to the artist. |
|
Each artist is required to
help break down the show when it is over
and attend the wrap-up meeting held immediately after break down.

So, look for the application form and further
information
about Creative Hand sometime around the May meetings.
Call me if you have any questions.
