Winterfest 2022This annual curated exhibit supports and highlights the talents of North Carolina artisans within the main concourse galleries of Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina. The vibrant seasonal display uplifts the spirits of staff, patients and families, and provides opportunities to purchase unique, quality items throughout the exhibit.
PROCESS FOR APPLICANTS< >To apply, interested applicants are required to submit 2022 Winterfest Application of Interest. You will then be emailed a URL, password and instructions to upload items for consideration to the Arts and Health Artwork Archive site. Submission of artwork must be received by midnight, June 15, 2022.Artist will be notified of their acceptance/decline by July 15, 2022.
CRITERIA:< >Artisans must reside in North Carolina, and be responsible for delivering to, and picking up from, Duke University Hospital, in Durham, NC, if selected.Works must be original to the artist and/or handcrafted by the artisan applying.If selected, items delivered must be “like” in appearance and price to items originally submitted. Pricing: Approximately 90% of all items sold during this event are $50 and less. Function: Buyers tend to purchase jewelry and functional items rather than artwork to display on someone else’s wall (unless it is also a functional tile, calendar, pin, puzzle, etc.). Variety: Participants who offer a variety of items at different price points usually sell more than those who only offer pieces in higher price ranges (items between $100 - $250). Quantity: The intent of this exhibit is to sell work throughout the entirety of the exhibit. Although we do our best to request adequate quantities ahead of time for replenishment purposes, we may ask for more quantities. Payments: Arts & Health manages daily sales events. Artisans will not be on-site to sell their work. We accept cash or checks (made out to the Artisan), and online payment options such as PayPal or Venmo. Payment options are displayed with each Artisan’s work. We ask that Artisans accepting online payments to verify their online transactions with Arts & Health, if any, at the end of each day. A recommended contribution of 25% of artisan’s sales is requested to be made payable to Arts & Health at Duke within 2 weeks after the end of the exhibit.
