Visual Arts Propectus - Art Marketplace Application | Panoply 2011
Purpose:The Panoply Arts Festival is celebrating 30 years of bringing the visual arts to downtown Huntsville. The festival provides multiple venues for artists of many forms in Big Spring International Park and is enjoyed by a crowd generally exceeding 75,000 people. The Festival has ranked in the top twenty events in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society year after year and has been featured in Southern Living magazine. Panoply is proud to offer a total arts experience to our patrons, and the visual arts are a vital part of that experience.
The Panoply Art Marketplace has developed a strong following among area residents and art collectors, and the Art Investor Program is the key reason for its success. Every year, an invitation is extended to collectors to participate in the program. For a fee that is applied toward the purchase of artwork, an Investor is given "First Dibs‟ to preview and purchase art Friday, April 29 from 6:00—9:00pm, following a wine and cheese reception. Last year, local patrons pledged over $12,000 to participate in the program. This is a wonderful opportunity for artists to sell to collectors desiring to acquire excellent artwork.
