PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES
Mission Statement
To provide an event for artists, representing all forms of the arts, as a vehicle for public awareness in a community that celebrates the arts. Also to provide an atmosphere that promotes the vitality of our downtown shopping district as a whole.
Submitting Photos for New Vendor Review
All potential new vendors must go through a Selection Committee review process. This includes the submission of 3-5 digital photos of your work to info@FirstFridaysFlorence.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Due to limited server space, submitted photos cannot exceed
1 megabyte each. You may adjust your digital camera to take lower resolution photos, or use the camera’s photo editing software to reduce the size of larger original files.
If you are unable to reduce the size of your photos to match these specifications, you may send printed copies of the photos via traditional mail to the address on our Contact page. The review process for traditional mail submissions will take up to three weeks.
2010 EVENT FEES AND BENEFITS:
Beginning with the April 2010 event, a nominal $10 fee per event for each exhibitor who is selling a product or service will be required. If an exhibitor chooses to pay for the remaining 2010 schedule in advance, a discount will be offered, with the final cost being $75.00. Other advance reservation purchases at varying numbers of events may be offered throughout the year. Contact the First Fridays office for more details.
Those who participate in 2 or more events during the year will receive:
• Inclusion on the new First Fridays website with a photo and description of your work or business and a link to your website or email.
• First choice of booth location for those who pay for each event in advance (a booth diagram will be sent to you upon receipt of payment).
• A posting on the First Fridays Facebook page describing your product or service. Postings will be made on a regular basis, rotating featured artists, performers or businesses, with the intent of covering exhibitors each time they exhibit.
• Plus coverage of artists and businesses in other marketing and public relations efforts as opportunities become available.
If you would like to pay your $10 fee for the next event (or any remaining event multiple discounted rate) in advance, please send your payment to: First Fridays Florence • P.O. Box 431 • Florence, AL 35631. Otherwise, payments can be made the day of the event at the on-site First Fridays Information Center. REMEMBER: Regardless of your payment choice, advance notice of your attendance, and a booth assignment by First Fridays is still required.
Remember to also include low resolution photos of your work (as described above), a description and website or email information that you wish to share. If you would prefer to email this information, please send it to info@firstfridaysflorence.com. If you have additional questions, please call toll-free 877-290-8880.
