Your Chance to See an Art Fair Jury ONLINE!!

Posted by Connie Mettler on September 27, 2010 at 5:08pm
Even to seasoned art fair artists the ins and outs of the jurying process are a mystery, so I am pleasedstacks_image_1242_1061321.png to share the news that ArtFest Fort Myers is broadcasting their jury LIVE from the jury room on Thursday, September 30th. Here are the details:

JURY LIVE

We are excited to announce that artists can watch the ArtFest Fort Myers Jury Day live - on-line - in real-time.

Due to many requests from artists to watch a Jury Day but knowing that it is not practical for many to come in person - we are broadcasting live from the jury room.

We will begin about approximately 9:00 AM this Thursday, September 30th. If you would like to watch – go to ArtFestFortMyers.com - click on the big ArtFest Live button. On the ArtFest Live page you will see the category order and other information about the day.

If we are on a break or at lunch the video screen will show "Off Air" but look at our schedule and we'll be back.


Jury Preview – Come In Person

Artists are also invited to preview what the jurors will see on Jury Day.

We have invited artists to this preview for the past several years. Many artists had never seen their images the way jurors do and found it a great experience.

During our set-up day, Wednesday, September 29th, artists are able to watch images being displayed, look at the ZAPP projection equipment and on-line scoring system that will be used.

Artists are also welcome to talk with the ArtFest Fort Myers Staff and each other about the process & images and the many aspects of art festivals. What a wonderful opportunity for all of us to share information.

If you would like to join us Wednesday, September 29th between 1PM and 3PM please email us at info@artfestfortmyers.com and we will send you directions.

Thanks ArtFest Fort Myers for this service to the artist community.

    It's no brighter than slides projected or else the detail would be washed out in the images. The biggest difference is that the color is more accurate.

    I can not see most of these images either. But I was really interested in the overall procedures, timing of viewing if the images, etc. It is also interesting to see how bright the images show in the dark room. My photographer advised me in this regard and I am glad that he did. I feel more confident in my submissions now.

    Exposure Compensation. The camera is trying to average the exposure for the dark room and bright images. It needs to be set for minus two (or three) stops exposure compensation to correctly expose the images being projected.

    I can't see the projected pictures at all. There is too much of a glare on most of the slides. Darn, I was really looking forward to this.

    I can't. Is there supposed to be any sound?
  • Jaky Felix September 30, 2010 at 10:05am
    Can anyone else actually see the projected artwork?

    You need to ask the show, not the forum. But I suspect that their answer will be no. And it's not fair to the artists who apply anyway.

    Be prepared that it's not very clear because it's a low resolution video feed to the internet. They did it last year, as did Des Moines.

    An archive would be great. Will that be possible?
  • Suellen Beck September 28, 2010 at 1:54pm
    This is great. I have always wanted to know what really goes on in the jury process. I will definitely be watching. It doesn't matter if you are new or old to the industry, I think this will be a learning experience for many artists.

    any archive of this in case we can't make the live event
