MarinIJ: Tiburon rolls out red carpet for art festival

MarinIJ: Tiburon rolls out red carpet for art festival

With only about one month left to summer, the second annual Tiburon Art Festival promises to keep the warm-weather fun going a while longer.

Art, music, drinks and face painting are all in the plans for the two-day event on Aug. 23-24. For six months, more than 75 volunteers have been working to create an expanded version of last year's festivities. Overall, the goal of the festival is for Bay Area residents to relax and rediscover what Tiburon has to offer.

"We're here to show off beautiful Tiburon and to have people take advantage of the waterfront, the restaurants and the shops," said festival co-chair Carolyn Wendler. "We really just want people to come and enjoy the town."

At the 2007 festival, about 2,000 people walked along historic Ark Row and discovered the talents of artists from all over the Bay Area. Though the festival was deemed successful, this year organizers are hoping to liven up downtown Tiburon even more with a larger variety of musical groups, drinks and artists.

Painters, sculptors, wood workers, photographers, jewelry makers and glass workers were all hand selected in June by judges Apsara DiQuinzio, the assistant curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Phillip Linhares, chief curator of art at the Oakland Museum of California. This year, a diverse group of 64 artists is expected to exhibit work alongside some new, family-friendly attractions.

At the north end of the street, kids can get their face painted and watch magic shows while on the South End Patio they can find art projects for more hands-on fun. Throughout the weekend, four bands will play music ranging from jazz to R&B to country.

Woodturner, Thomas Ludlum - Pheasant Wood Vase

"Pheasant Wood Vase" by Thomas Ludlum, woodturner.
"My love for woodturning started 9 years ago. I have done ceramics in the past so woodturning felt like a natural step. I am fascinated by the diversity of woods and the possibilities it presents. The variety of colors and textures helps me appreciate the challenges of each piece."

Photographer Bob Kreisel - Seperate Benches

"Seperate Benches" by photographer Bob Kreisel.
"When I was ten I sent away for a 99 cent mini plastic camera that fit in the palm of my hand. I took a picture of a deer in the zoo. my mom loved it. I have been taking pictures for her ever since. I shoot whatever catches my eye or stirs my emotions. My heroes are Norman Rockwell, Cartier, Bresson and Eugene Smith."

FAQ: Artist Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Pegboard

Is the Pegboard attached to the tent or just leaning?

The Pegboard will be attached to the frame of the tent by the company that brings the tents. It will be attached at 4 corners. It is attached to a tent which is outdoors so it is not completely solid.
How many pegboards do I need?

This depends on how many paintings you want to hang and the size of the paintings. You can fit up to a total of 6 pegboards in a tent. Typically people hang 3 pegboards in a tent. The tent is 8’tall and the pegboard is hung horizontally, 2 ft from the top and 30’from the ground (height of a table) So your art is then eye level. They can hang 2 pegboards side by side, vertically in the tent and they will be top to ground.
How much weight can I hang?

You can hang 50 lbs on a side – for a total of 150 lbs.
Can I get my own pegs at the Hardware store?
Sure but be sure they are the correct size – ¼”. This is bigger than the pegboard commonly found in garages around America!

Tents

How tall is the tent?

The tent is 8’ tall
Can I hang items from the frame? Yes you may hang items from the frame but you may not put any holes in the tent or the side panels.

Set-up

When can I set up?
You can set up on Saturday morning form 7-10am.
How far will I have to move my art?That depends on the booth location. You will be able to unload at either end of Ark Row and in the parking lot which has 4 sets of steps up to Ark Row. We will let you know as it gets closer, where to unload for your booth.

Security
What security are you providing?
We have hired a security company to patrol the street at night. There should be 2 security people on all night. The Tiburon and Belvedere Police will make extra rounds in the area. We will do what we can, but you are still responsible for loss or damage to your art.

Should I leave my art there?
That is up to you. If it is not too difficult to move we would suggest taking it home at night.
Do the front panels help secure /lock the tent?
The front panels are designed to help protect the art from the weather. They would be a deterrent to theft if they are secured. They do not lock.

Electricity
How does the electricity to the tents work?
We will have 3 large generators for the festival. They will be in the parking lot and the electricity will be bought up to the tents. Each tent that requests electricity will have 1 outlet. You should bring an outlet strip with you if needed.

2007 Artist's Reception Wed. Aug 22 6-9pm

Most esteemed artists,
We had intended to have a reception to honor the artists in the Festival on Saturday night, August 25. We have reconsidered. Our feeling is that you would be too harried after the first day of exhibiting to enjoy a reception that evening. Accordingly, we have re-scheduled the reception for Wednesday night, August 22, 2007, 6-9 p.m., at the San Francisco Yacht Club, 98 Beach Road, Belvedere. We hope you (and a guest) will be able to attend. Dress: casual; parking: ample.
In addition to the artists, we are inviting representatives of organizations and companies who have generously acted as sponsors, members of the Tiburon Art Festival Committee, the Honorary Chairs of the event, and others involved in the Festival.
We will be serving food and champagne and wine. Realizing that most artists, of course, eschew spirits, we will also have copious amounts of Diet Coke.
This is our first Art Festival and we are working hard to make it a success. Your participation is the cornerstone of what we hope will be an outstanding event.
Asher Rubin
Co-chair, Tiburon Art Festival

2007 Tiburon Art Festival

This event may be the highlight of the summer. It is expected that world class art will be exhibited along quaint Ark Row in Tiburon and that attendees will be so enraptured they won't want to leave and will insist the festival continue through New Year's. The stores and galleries along Ark Row will be open and will probably be subjected to a stampede and run out of merchandise. There will be music (the SF Symphony sent its regrets and the Metropolitan Opera seems like a long shot) and food (we're trying to reach the French Laundry in St. Helena for a donation but their phone is always busy) and much gaiety. It is rumored that people are already in line for the port-a-potties altho the festival is not until late August.
