About PhinneyWood Summer Arts Festival

We’re excited to announce that our beloved Art Sale & Stroll event is getting a vibrant makeover and will now be known as the PhinneyWood Summer Arts Festival.

With this rebranding comes a plethora of new features and experiences. Look forward to Workshops, a Beer Garden, Live Music, Children’s Activities, and much more. Stay tuned for further details as the event draws near.

Why are we changing the existing Art Sale & Stroll event?

As we embark on this transformation, it’s crucial to highlight the role of the Phinney Center as the heart and center of this event. While we bid farewell to the pop-up galleries in our neighbors’ yards due to decreased sign-up numbers, we’re excited to uphold the tradition of the Open Studio tour around the neighborhood. This continuation allows us to offer visitors a unique glimpse into the creative spaces of local artists, fostering deeper connections within our community.

This shift allows us to concentrate the festival’s energy and activities, creating a vibrant hub where the community can gather and celebrate. The Phinney Center will serve as a focal point, offering a dynamic space where creativity and camaraderie thrive.

We recognize the significance of the pop-up galleries, especially during the challenging times of COVID-19, and we deeply appreciate your enthusiastic support. As we transition to the PhinneyWood Summer Arts Festival, with the Phinney Center at its core, we are dedicated to elevating the overall experience for all participants, ensuring that it’s even more enriching and enjoyable.

What is your process for approving vendors?

Our event is juried by a diverse panel of PNA community members who meticulously evaluate each craft for its uniqueness, price range, quality, and suitability for our event. With a focus on diversity and inclusivity, our selection process encourages vendors from underrepresented communities to apply. Our goal is to curate a marketplace that mirrors the rich diversity of our local community. While space limitations may prevent us from accepting all vendors, we maintain a waitlist to notify applicants of any last-minute openings. 

Do I need a Business License?

Yes, if you’re participating in this event and your business is located in Seattle, you need a city business license. You can get one here: https://seattle.gov/city-finance/business-taxes-and-licenses/business-licenses 

You’ll need to enter the license number in the application process. 

If you’re from outside Seattle, you can get a temporary license through the PNA for $10 a day.  

 

Remember, vendors are responsible for handling all business taxes. 

Why don’t you have the sales in yards this year?

This year, we’ve decided to transition away from hosting sales in yards. While we value the significance of the pop-up galleries, particularly during the challenging times of COVID-19, we believe that shifting to the PhinneyWood Summer Arts Festival with the Phinney Center at its core will enhance the overall experience for all participants. Our dedication lies in ensuring that the festival becomes even more enriching and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Do you have tables and canopies I can use?

We do not have canopies available to use, but we do have a limited number of tables available to rent. If you are accepted, you can add a table to your registration when you sign up.

How is PhinneyWood Summer Arts Festival publicized?

The PNA advertises the Art Stroll in local news publications, distributes posters and flyers, and promotes the event on our website, newsletter, PhinneyWood blog and social media. However, word of mouth is often the most effective form of advertising. Tell your friends and refer them to this website for more information. 

How can I be featured on your social media?

We cannot feature everyone, but we will be selecting some artists randomly. To be considered, please follow the instructions we provide with your registration. We will also use the information from this form for the online artist directory.

What if it’s raining?

PhinneyWood Summer Arts Festival will be held rain or shine. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable.
