VALA Eastside and Redmond Town Center are inviting artists, craftsmen and designers to participate in the 2014 5th Annual Redmond Arts Festival, taking place Aug. 15-17.

The three-day outdoor festival will feature about 75-100 artist booths, demonstrations, workshops, musical entertainment and food vendors along Northeast 74th Street at Redmond Town Center.

Festival artists will also be considered for an on-site juried installation at the VALA Art Center, which runs Aug. 14-31. Application fee to apply to the festival is $20 and a booth fee of $200 will be collected after acceptance into festival.

No commission is taken on works sold. The deadline to apply is March 31.

For ease of management of all the submissions, VALA is using CaFE, an online call for artist application system. For festival artists who are familiar with ZAPP, CaFE is very similar. CaFE is free and easy for artists to use.
