The Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival
November 7, 8 & 9, 2008
Pensacola, Florida

• Selection Process
  GGAF is a juried art show. To ensure impartiality, entries are assigned numbers and no artists' names are used during the selection process. Our goal is to present a well-rounded show, but there is no predetermined number or percentage of "slots" established for any category. The Festival Committee reserves the right to determine "what is art" as it applies to this event, and to make final judgment of all rules.
  
  
• Festival Policies
  -The work of only one exhibitor may be displayed in each assigned space.
  - A two-person team producing a product may qualify for a single exhibitor, but this arrangement must be explained in detail on the application in the description space provided.
  - It is recommended that each artist have insurance.
  - Seville Square is patrolled day and night by the City of Pensacola police throughout the 3 days of the Festival. Security problems are rare. Although care will be taken to avoid hazards to artwork, the GGAF is not responsible for any loss or damage to displays or artwork. Overnight security services will be provided Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
  - Exhibiting artists and craftsmen must be present throughout the festival to display their own work. ID's will be checked daily.
  - Accepted artists must display a minimum of six pieces in each category in which they were accepted.
