This Is More Than an Art Booth — It's a TAG Outreach Opportunity!

Our primary goal is to introduce more people to Topeka Art Guild and encourage artists and art lovers to become involved with our organization.

We'll also be promoting our upcoming Fine Art Fair in March and looking for artists who may want to participate.

So we're looking for members who are willing to:

Show their artwork.
Talk about TAG.
Meet other artists.
Promote our March Fine Art Fair.
And help us carry the stuff!

REGISTER TODAY!

Many hands make light labor!

You don't have to spend the entire day at the fair to help.

There are several ways you can participate.

SET-UP — 8:00–10:00 AM

We need several people to help:

• Set up the tent
• Set up art racks
• Move tables and chairs
• Set up artwork
• Organize the booth
• Get everything ready for the public

BOOTH STAFF — 11:00 AM–2:00 PM

We need at least one additional person with DeAnna during this shift.

BOOTH STAFF — 2:00–5:00 PM

We need at least one additional person with DeAnna during this shift.

NETWORKING / ARTIST OUTREACH

We would like 2–3 people to walk around the fair and talk with other artists about:

• Topeka Art Guild membership
• TAG programs
• Our upcoming March Fine Art Fair
• Opportunities to exhibit with TAG

This is a great job for someone who enjoys meeting people but doesn't necessarily want to sit in the booth all day.

TEAR-DOWN — 5:00–6:00 PM

We need a crew to help take everything down and return equipment to the appropriate people/gallery.

If you bring something, please plan to take it home at the end of the day — OR coordinate with someone who can take responsibility for returning it.

EQUIPMENT WE NEED

Here's where I would make the signup sheet especially useful.

Folding Chairs

Need: 2 people

Each person brings/carries 2 folding chairs from the Gallery.

Chairs should be picked up during the few days before the event and returned to the Gallery the following week.

6-Foot Art Grid Racks

Need: 2–3 people

We need 6 total grid racks.

Each volunteer can commit to bringing 2 racks.

The racks fit in an SUV with the seats down.

Folding Table

Need: 1 person

Bring one folding table from the Gallery.

ADAF is providing one table, so this will give TAG two tables total.

Tabletop Card Spinner

Need: 1 person

Approximately 24" × 18" × 18" and lightweight.

Pick up from the Gallery before the event and return afterward.

Shrink-Wrap "Crèche"

Need: 1 person

Bring the folding display rack containing the shrink-wrapped artwork.

Tent

Need: 1 person/crew

We need someone to commit to bringing the tent, sides and weights/stakes at 8:00 AM, helping set it up, and taking it home after the event.

Tent Setup Crew

Need: several people

Even if you aren't responsible for bringing the tent, we need people there at 8:00 AM to help put it up.

ARTIST PARTICIPATION

Medium Artwork

Approximately 18–36 pieces

Sign up if you would like to bring 2–4 medium-sized artworks.

Approximately 3–4 artists

We can dedicate one entire table to 3D work.

This would be perfect for:

Ceramics • Jewelry • Small Sculpture • Other 3D Work
