General Growth Properties and the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance team up to bring you the Summer ARTmarket at the Tucson Mall.  Attendees will be able to shop on of a kind original fine art in the comfort of an indoor shopping center to beat the hot summer months in Tucson, Arizona.  This extraordinary festival will feature over 120 artists exhibiting their artwork throughout the mall walkways on the last weekend of each month beginning in May 2010 – August 2010.  As always at a traditional SAACA event, Children’s Activities will be offered at no charge to the attendee as well as LIVE music performances by local musicians all in the comfort of an indoor setting.

The Tucson Mall is Southern Arizona’s premier shopping and entertainment destination. You’ll enjoy sensational shopping with over 200 specialty shops and four department stores. Shop the most popular retailers in the country including Sephora, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Metropark and REI. Or find unique treasures on Arizona Avenue, a collection of specialty boutiques devoted to art, gifts and jewelry from Arizona. After a full day of shopping, delectable dining awaits you at The Cheesecake Factory, Shane’s Rib Shack (open 2010), Red Robin, Mimi’s Café and more. This ARTmarket will place the artists in the heart of the shopping mall corridors, with easy access to the shoppers!

FOR ARTISTS

 

Type
This is a JURIED Art Festival.

All product must be hand made by the artisan. No resale of products is allowed. The term “juried" refers to fine artists and crafters who bring their own art, created and executed by their own hand, and of professional quality. This work is limited to the work of a single artist or a two person team collaborating and producing each piece together. Juried artists in the painting, drawing and graphics categories may also bring reproductions or photo mechanically reproduced work (of their own originals), but it must be kept in bins and the work must clearly be marked as reproductions. Limited edition prints are allowed only if they are prints of artwork executed by the exhibitors and have been properly signed and numbered. These limited edition prints cannot constitute more than 40% of the art work for sale. All work must be original art that has been personally created by the exhibiting artist. The display and sale of imports, manufactured items, or items that are produced with the use of commercial kits, mold, patterns, forms or other commercial production methods are not permitted. This rule will be strictly enforced.
