FOUNTAIN HILLS CHAMBER ARTIST MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
About the Artist Membership
As a member organization, the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce is delighted to invite artists to be a part of our Chamber family. Chamber Artist members have exclusive pricing and benefits. We encourage all artists applying to consider becoming a member of the FH Chamber of Commerce upon acceptance of the jury. Applying for membership prior to the jury is not a guarantee that you will be invited to participate. All FH Chamber artist members will receive full benefits while in good standing. Good standing requires an invitation to attend by the Festival jury, all membership and festival fees paid timely and compliant exhibitions during festivals. All accepted artists for the Fountain Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts will be invited to become an artist member of the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce.
Hassle Free Registration
FH Artist members are provided hassle-free application for future festivals, as long as they have an active membership during the festival timeframe and are in good standing. Artists members in good standing will receive a special invitation to attend future festivals. Without having to complete the application again, at the click of a button, these artist members may go directly to the registration to confirm and pay for their space in the next festival. Artists members in good standing are required to follow all standards and regulations including only showing the artwork they have previously been juried for. If an artist member has recently changed their artwork or category another application must be submitted to be juried under their new artwork/category.
Artist Member Pricing
The Artist membership is an annual fee of $225 per year and will be for a full year (example: if you pay in June 2023, your membership will not be due again until June 2024!). In order to receive full benefits year-round, your membership must be "active" during the festival you wish to participate in. The annual Artist membership is good for two shows within a 12 month period of time.
Artist members in good standing do not have a registration fee or jury fee.
Enhanced Year Round Marketing
FH Chamber Artist Members are allowed enhanced features in the chamber business directory listings as well as the Visit Fountain Hills community app. Photos, videos, long text descriptions and customized buttons can be utilized to attract curious buyers to your booth during the festival as well as your website or social media platforms.
These enhanced features are available to artist members for 12 months until the membership comes up for renewal.
FH Artist Members who submit artist information form for social media will also be featured on the Fountain Hills Art Fairs social media outlets.
In order to receive full benefits year-round, your membership must be "active" during the festival you wish to participate in. The annual Artist membership is good for two shows a year.
Priority Booth Placement
FH Chamber artist members in good standing will receive priority when the time comes to determine booth placements. These artists will have their booth placement request processed before the remainder of the artists are decided.
Featured in Media
At times the Fountain Festival is visited by local media and news reporters. We encourage engagement with our artist members while they are here. Only FH Chamber artist members may be selected for an interview and feature when media is present.
