Attention All Visual Artists...

This is year 4 of the River Arts Festival and it is getting bigger and better. Last year, we had 50 visual artists showing in downtown Dunnville locations, over 20 musicians, authors, and filmmakers and an estimated audience of 1200. This year – November 7 – 21 – is an ideal time once again to showcase your work for free. We expect a bigger audience, are featuring the best of local, national and international musicians, expanded authors’ events, a culinary night, videos, improv – you name it – we’ve got it!

We are accepting up to 3 pieces of ready-to-hang work. There is no exhibit fee, although businesses where any work is exhibited will retain 15% of any sales as an administration fee. Please e-mail us at:
submissions@riverartsfestival.ca

if you want to show and sell your work. Tell us how many pieces (up to three) you want to show, what media and send us a picture or a link to your website so we can see your work. We will then get back to you. Entries will be accepted at Flyers Cafe at 144 Queen Street, Dunnville from Tuesday, October 28 until Wednesday, November 4 (open 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays but closed on Monday November 2). Work received after November 4 will not make it into the official Festival program. The phone number for Flyers is 905-701-8527 and ask to speak with Frances Porter.

Drop off your work at the times above...when you are dropping off your work, we can get all the necessary contact information, titles, pricing, etc., from you. Then plan to join us for this celebration of the arts.

We're growing every year, so if we couldn't include you this year maybe we can next year so keep in touch.
