Welcome to the Fox River Arts Ramble scheduled to be held on Saturday, June 11, 2022 throughout the Fox River Valley. Hours of the event are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We appreciate your interest in participating. WHAT IT IS: The Fox River Arts Ramble is a cooperative program sponsored by Fine Line Creative Arts Center, Geneva Center for the Arts, St. Charles Arts Council and Water Street Studios. The event was created in 2018 as a means to raise awareness of the rich artistic talent contained throughout the Fox River Valley. Artists and venues from Elgin to Aurora are invited to participate while we invite the public to take a self-guided tour and witness the artistic culture we enjoy in the Fox River Valley. HOW IT WORKS: Venues and/or artists register for this one day event. Artists of all types are invited to participate at either a paying venue or at their own artist tent at a Venue Hub. A map is created and distributed to the public for ease in knowing who is participating in the event. Artwork at all venues may be for sale. 1000 “Save The Date” cards will be distributed to the public throughout the Fox River Valley. THE MAP: Maps indicating participating Venues/Artists will be printed for use on the event day. All marketing materials will include a QR Code that takes the reader to the Fox River Arts Ramble home page for detailed information. Venues/Artists that have paid the $100 fee will be listed on the Ramble Map. They will also be listed on the Fox River Arts Ramble website throughout the event. “Venue Hubs” will be located at Fine Line Creative Arts Center, Geneva Center for the Arts, St. Charles Arts Council (location TBD), and Water Street Studios. Artists are required to provide their own tents at these venue hubs. Each artist will be listed on the map individually. The fee for this location is $100/artist tent. FEE TO PARTICIPATE - $100/VENUE OR ARTIST TENT New this year – we are simplifying the fee schedule to participate. All venues will pay $100 to participate. All artist tents that are hosted at a “Venue Hub” (Fine Line, GCA, SCAC (location TBD), or Water Street) will pay $100 for their tent space and will therefore be listed on the map. HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Please fill out the registration form HERE. After submitting your registration form, you will receive a CONFIRMATION EMAIL. The confirmation email will contain information on paying by check and a link to pay online if you prefer. Your application, participation fee and high-resolution image must be submitted by Friday, April 15, 2022.
