NORTHERN MANITOBA
TRAPPERS’ FESTIVAL
ARTS & CRAFTS SHOW
2010
We are in the planning stages of the NMTF Arts and Crafts Show being held Friday and Saturday, Feb 19 and 20, 2010. Hours are 10:00 am-8:00pm Friday, February 19 and 10:00 am- 5:00 pm Saturday, February 20. Enthusiasm is always there from local and out of town artists and crafts people, so we are hoping for another successful Show for 2010. The show is all about participation.
Last year exhibitors loved the venue in the Uptown Mall (former SAAN store) and we had plenty of space, crowds of people and loads of fun. We had so many compliments and all the exhibitors were hoping that we would be able to use the same facility at the mall again this year.
Location Commercial Displays in the old SAAN store and Competition Displays across the hall at the old Shane's store.
This invitation is extended to anyone interested in displaying their arts or crafts for exhibition and competition, or for sale. A 10% commission fee to the Festival applies to all sales. Approximately 3,500 people visit the show each year Festival supplies an excellent opportunity to artists and craftspeople to gain exposure for their work and for the public to buy some interesting, original pieces. The entry fee is .50 cents per item entered for competition. There is no limit on the number of entries per person per category. All forms of art and crafts are welcome- refer to the numbered list of categories below- a breakdown is included where necessary.
