Dear Vendor:
The Art Deco Weekend Festival was started in 1976 by the Miami Design Preservation League to attract visitors to Miami Beach’s Art Deco District and to raise awareness of the art and culture of the Art Deco era (approximately 1925-1945). The festival has historically attracted a quarter of a million visitors to the area. Next year’s event will take place January 13-15, 2012 with the theme of “Celebrating 500 Years of Florida History in the Art Deco Historic District ”.
Guidelines
Our vendors and the merchandise they sell are the festival’s most prominent visual element and an important educational tool. Therefore, the committee will review applications to ensure all merchandise fulfills at least ONE of the following criteria:
· It displays the Art Deco architecture of Miami Beach
· It displays the Art Deco architecture (including Streamline Moderne, Nautical Moderne, Stripped Classical, Depression Moderne, De Stijl, Bauhaus) of any local.
· It displays Art Deco design motifs (see related styles above).
· It displays antiques from the era (approximately 1925-1945).
· Any new merchandise accurately represents the fashions, clothing, furniture, house wares, graphic design, industrial design, toys and/or decorative objects of the Art Deco era, and/or reflected the conditions of the Great Depression of the 1930s.
· Specialty Vendor accepted by the committee into the event
All artists, crafts, antique, and nostalgia vendor applications are screened through a committee process. In order to assist the committee in evaluating your work, photographs of your merchandise booth set up must accompany your application. The photos should clearly show the Art Deco merchandise/artwork you will be selling. All decisions by the committee are final. MDPL’s office staff does not participate in the decisions and cannot influence or alter the committee vote.
