Each year as the apples ripen amid the beautiful mountains of historic Julian, locals begin to prepare for a down-home, small town tradition, The Menghini Arts, Wine and Music Festival. This event will mark the 22nd year of the celebration which has a strong local following and attracts tourists from all over San Diego County. Come and enjoy a great time visiting with outstanding regional artists and musicians, while inhaling clean mountain air and sipping locally grown and produced wine.
All art must be original and made by the applying artists. No mass produced, kits or imported work will be allowed. There will be no jury fee.
LOCATION: Menghini Winery: 2 miles north of Julian, CA on Farmers Rd.
ENTRY FEE: Non Julian Arts Guild members: $50.00. JAG members: $25.00
SPACE SIZE: 10 x 10. All spaces will be set in the orchard surrounding the winery and marked with orange flags. Artists will be selecting their own space on a first-come-first-served basis. This has worked well in the past as the show is of modest size and artists can set up the night before if they wish. Some artists may want to locate further from the music stage, some closer. Few areas have shade all the time, so please bring a canopy that can be weighted down as we sometimes get wind. Overall presentation must be reasonably contained within the 10 x 10 area. There is plenty of parking and artists may drive up to the display spaces to unpack.
RAFFLE: The musicians are partially paid by money from the raffle, and we would greatly appreciate the donation of a small item for the raffle. Thank you in advance. Please mark on your application if you will be giving a donation.
SET-UP: Friday afternoon from 3 PM, and Saturday from 7am.
Please move cars to parking area by 9:30 am.
TAKE-DOWN: Sunday after the close of the show: 5 PM.
DEADLINE: Non Julian Arts Guild members: September 15th 2008. JAG members, no deadline.
NOTIFICATION: ASAP by email or letter.
No admission is charged to this event, and no security is provided for the exhibitors.
