Cranberry Fair 2010 - Participant Guidelines

Welcome

Dear Yukon Artists,

On behalf of the Northern Fibres Guild, I am inviting you to submit your portfolio for this year’s Cranberry Fair.

Please refer to the Participant Guidelines and complete the Artist Application. You can copy and paste the application information (scroll down to find the info) in a Word document, print it and fill it out or contact the coordinator at cranberryfair (at) live (dot) com to receive an application or pick up an application at Knit Now on 3rd Avenue, Whitehorse.

Ensure that your resume and portfolio accurately represent your work. The jury is different each year and may not be familiar with your art. Consider including an example of your work with your portfolio. Photographs do not always do justice.
