I would love to reach out to the folks in Who-Ha with a special offer to participate in Folkfest. What is the best way to do that?! I have a couple of incentives to encourage the fellowship to get on down to Florida this year!!
Any ideas of what some of the best motivating factors have been for you or folk artists you know in determining which shows you participate in? We are planning to offer free hotel accomodations to one or two artists who sign up first, as well as 3 or 4 monetary art awards for the festival…
Folkfest St. Pete is an annual street folk art and music festival held in downtown St. Pete on Central Avenue in front of Creative Clay Cultural Arts Center. The expressed mission of the festival is to draw as many people to Creative Clay’s front door step as possible to bring exposure to 15 years of creativity, passion, and art-making at Creative Clay. Creative Clay receives all proceeds from the festival to assist the organization in serving literally hundreds of community members with a variety of obstacles to accessing the arts. In 2009, more than 20,000 festival participants enjoyed bands like Rebekah Pulley and the Reluctant Prophets, The New Familiars and Donna the Buffalo. Folkfest St. Pete is also a fantastic opportunity for Creative Clay to reach out partner with like-minded community organizations such as the city of St. Petersburg, YMCA, Youth Arts Corps, and Suncoast Hospice.
