Information For and About Artists ABOUT OUR FESTIVAL The Interfaith Arts & Music Festival, held this year on October 18 & 19, 2008, is an event sponsored by Central Presbyterian Church of Austin and Friends. The Festival is held with the intention of bringing people together of all faiths. It is our hope that we can promote an understanding between people, through art and music, and thereby generate a common feeling of spiritual unity among us all as inhabitants of this planet. JURYING Please submit three photos of your work for each category entered with the Interfaith Art & Music Application. Photos may be digital files (.jpg, .tif, .png) or print. Every entry must clearly represent the style and quality of work intended for exhibition. All presentations must be clearly labeled with the artist’s name. Only 28 artists will be accepted. Additional artists may be chosen for a wait list. Artists on the wait list will be pulled as needed for replacement purposes or in the event of expansion of the program. All decisions of the jury are final. If applicable, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your application, so we may return your photos. If chosen, photos may be used by the Interfaith Arts & Music Festival for promotional purposes. FEES Indoor booth size is a minimum of 8’x10’; outdoor booths (tents provided) are 10’x10’.
