Evening of the Arts is looking to interest local businesses, organizations, and community members in a booth space to share the arts at the Lawrenceville Arts Center. All participants will be provided a 10 x 10 booth space but must provide their own tent, table, chairs, and any additional art supplies. We want to provide our event participants with a variety of free art experiences. We will likely not accept multiples of the same activity.


Some suggestions/ideas:

• String Art
• Collaborative Art Pieces
• Sand Art
• Eco-Friendly Art Projects
• Friendship Bracelet Station 
• Macramé Activity

 This application is for interested parties who want to offer an interactive activity at their booth. This is not a sales opportunity. Guests will need to participate in some kind of activity, art project, etc.  We want our community members to feel drawn toward your booth in a fun and positive way, thus creating a positive connection between your business/organization and our community. By choosing to host an activity booth, you have the opportunity to spend more time with each guest and really allow the connection to foster and grow.  This event is from 3 PM to 9 PM. However, vendors will be loading between 1:00 PM and  2:00 PM. All vendors must be prepared to greet the public at 3:00 PM.
