artist information/registration

REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS august 15. 2008

The 2008 ROS will take place across a variety of venues: artists’ homes/studios, business locations, and shared spaces in Roslindale Village.  If you have questions after reading the below, please email the Artist Coordinator, Carolyn Thall, at carolyn@carolynthall.com

Dates: Saturday & Sunday November 8 and 9
Times: 12noon-6pm both days
Fees: $75 for home studios, $150 for group or business venues*
Registration fees are per artist – Artists sharing spaces may not split registration fees

If you have a studio in Roslindale or would like to show in your home:
We will list your location on the brochure map, and provide you with a weatherproof banner to hang outside your locale on the weekend of the event. 

NOTE:   If you have extra space and would like to share with another artist, please notify Carolyn.  We will try to match you with someone – a ‘double bill’ is likely to attract more foot traffic and be lots of fun for all.  Remember – this event is also open to artists from outside Roslindale, so if you have friend/artists who may want to share your studio space for the show, please try to recruit them!

If you wish to show in a business location
Business locations will confirmed in the coming months, but we expect participation from the businesses that participated in the past (Bangkok Café, Emack & Bolio’s), as well as some newcomers.  Please register for a ‘shared venue’ but notify Carolyn by email that you would  

If you wish to show in group space
(for non-Rosi residents and those without their own studio space)
We once again have use of the Roslindale House, centrally located in Roslindale Village.  Roslindale House is the former Roslindale High School, located at 120 Poplar Street just off Washington Street.  We have a beautiful, bright room there to accommodate approximately 15 artists who hang their work, and 5 artists who show on tables (jewelers, potters, etc.).  We cannot hang directly on the walls at Roslindale House, but will provide you with 2 peg-board walls of 4’x8’ each, for a total hanging space of 8’x8’.  Or you may bring your own portable display pieces if you have them.  You may also bring a small table, lighting, other décor etc. to personalize the area in front of your wall space.  There is plenty of room to very comfortably move around and augment your wall space.  Table artists will have large folding tables (about 30” x 72”).  Spaces will be assigned by the event organizers.  We will provide set-up hours on the 2 days prior to the event; there is a loading dock and trolleys available for moving work inside; the room will securely locked after show hours.  You will be asked to break down your show on the Sunday of the event, after 6pm.

If the number of registered artists exceeds the space available at Roslindale House, we have additional back-up venues, also centrally located in Roslindale Village.  Details will be provided if the need arises.

NOTE:  The costs of building, moving and storing the temporary walls, plus the administrative work involved in setting up the group and businesses locations, account for the higher price to show at these venues.  But you can be guaranteed lots of foot traffic in these locations!
