VIRTUAL SURF CITY ARTS FEST (SCAF) ONLINE FESTIVAL VIDEO SUBMISSIONS
This year with social distancing guidelines in place, we are unable to have our traditional Surf City Arts Fest in Triangle Park. Instead, we are putting together an online festival. Artist Council members have the opportunity to record a video demonstration or discussion about your work to be displayed on our website and social media.
We encourage all artists to make a short video highlighting and celebrating your artwork. You have the opportunity to teach a demonstration of your techniques, talk about your inspiration, share your work and get the public excited about the arts and HBAC!
HBAC Gallery Aide, Eric Broberg, has generously offered to edit video for four artists who are unable to do so, on their own. These slots will be on a first-come-first-serve basis and we will discuss Eric’s deadlines and technical specifics with those four artists. Please contact kathleen.fenstermaker@surfcity-hb.org via email if you are interested in this opportunity ASAP.
The DEADLINE to submit your final video is SEPTEMBER 24, 2020. We prefer if you upload your video to YouTube and email the link to: kathleen.fenstermaker@surfcity-hb.org. You can also share your files directly with us through the Art Center’s Dropbox account at artcenterstaff@surfcity-hb.org. If you are unable to upload your video, please contact us and we will make other arrangements for you.
