Artists & writers should arrive before 1:00 p.m. to give themselves time to get settled and check in (a short process!).
The reception gives us the opportunity to talk with the public, as well as other artists & writers, about your work. Refreshments will be provided, and we will also be sponsoring an Edible Books exhibit that day. Friends and family are also invited to attend this exciting event.

These will allow the public to contact you about your work. If you wish to sell your work at the Reception, please submit the Entry Form as soon as possible, as space is limited.
