Cedar Key`s 48th Annual Spring Fine Arts Festival is just two weeks away. If you plan to be here and enjoy browsing and shopping at the festival, why not consider becoming a Purchase Award Patron this year? Here`s how the program works. As a Patron you purchase a coupon ahead of time (like a prepaid gift certificate). Each $250 coupon equals $225 of buying power toward artwork of your choice. You can combine coupons, add cash, or get change from the artist, so there is no restriction on what you choose. Once you`ve decided, simply pay the artist at festival with the coupon. Some Patrons in the past have purchased coupons as gifts for Birthdays, Anniversaries, or given them to employees to encourage them to join in the festival fun. In addition Purchase Awards Patrons receive:
* Ribbons to give to the artist at the time of purchase. Artist value this recognition and enjoy displaying the ribbons
* An invitation for two to the Artist Reception at the Cedar Key arts Center, 5-6:30 pm Saturday evening of festival.
* A money back guarantee (if you can`t find something you like we`ll refund your coupon Sunday afternoon)
So, if you know you enjoy shopping a festival and most likely will buy something for yourself or someone else, you can help this and future festivals by becoming a Purchase Award Patron. This program demonstrates community support for the Fine Arts Festival which enhances its reputation and helps attract the best artists to our festival. In addition your 10% tax-deductible contribution to Old Florida Celebration of the Arts helps cover festival costs.
