outdoor Art Show is in Berzy Park, at Front and Scott Streets (east
of Yonge Street), downtown Toronto.
What does it cost to exhibit in this art show? There
is a fee of $300 per 10'x10' exhibit space for 3 days. You are also
required to donate a piece of art before the event for an art auction

space payment as well as a tax deductable receipt for your donation
of art.

Will there be many visitors? Yes,
you will meet quite a few of the many thousands of visitors attracted
to this event especially on the Saturday and Sunday.
Is this art show juried? We
believe that beauty, and therefore art, is very much in the eye of
the beholder. However, we will ask you for the address of a website
where our panel can view your work online. If you do not have a
website, we will request electronic images of your work to be sent to
us for review.
What kind of art can I display? This
is an art show for hand-made or unique paintings, drawings,
photographs as well as 3-D, formed art including sculpture and jewellery.
Can I display my work for just one or two days? That
may be possible. Contact AFAC Management to discuss.
Where will my booth be in the show?
The location of booth in the show will be decided by AFAC Management.
How much space per artist? Each
artist will have a 10'x10' booth space to display their work AFAC
Management will determine the location of your booth space.
Can I have more space to display my work?
No, each artists may have 10'x10' space so as to share the space available.
Do I need a tent? Yes. You need a
tent for shelter against rain, as a shade against sun and as a place
to display and store some or all of your art overnight.
What if I do not have a tent? You
will need to rent or buy a tent. AFAC has a small number of tents
available for rental at $100 per day or for all three days. These
tents are delivered, set up, taken down and taken away for you.
What else do I need as well as a tent? You
need to bring your own system for displaying your art; as well as
any tables and chairs that you may need. You may want to bring
something to eat and drink although there are several restaurants nearby.
What about lighting after dark? We
recommend that if you are going to exhibit after dark (around 9pm in
August) you should bring your own extension cords and lighting. As an
Exhibitor you will receive one 15amp electrical recepticle to power
your lights.
Can I share my space with another artist?
You may do so although you provided you tell AFAC who the other
artist is (at the time of booking or deciding to share, whichever
comes first).
When do I set up? Set-up is on the
morning of Friday 26th August between 10am and 12 noon. A special
sign will be provided to let you park temporarily near the site to
unload your tent and art.
Should I insure my art? We
recommend that you talk to your insurance about insuring your art if
you consider it to be particularly valuable.
Will there be security on site?
Yes, security guards patrol the show during the day and overnight.
However, artists must sign a loss / damage waiver and may want to
insure, or remove pieces that are highly valued from their tent overnight.
Can I decide on my own prices for my art? Yes,
you should price your art at whatever price you think is best that
will sell. Remember, you can afford to keep your prices LOWER than in
other shows because you do NOT need to cover the cost of paying sales
commissions - since AFAC does NOT charge sales commissions to artists
- or ANY kind of commissions. Nice.
