Art patrons enjoy ample free parking, trolleys, water taxis and a spectacular venue. Enhanced by the gracious hospitality of The Woodlands, this is a Festival everyone enjoys. Performance stages provide ongoing performing arts. Children enjoy interactive art activities. Fabulous food offerings from select area restaurants celebrate the art of cuisine. Artists set up along a concrete landscaped path beside the waterway that runs through The Woodlands Town Center. From The Marriott Waterway Hotel and Convention Center the path meanders alongside The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and into Town Green Park. New this year, Town Green Park will feature an area highlighting outdoor art--art in any medium that is suitable for outdoor use or represents the outdoors. The Woodlands is a master-plan development community, home to 90,000 people and over 2,000 businesses 27 miles north of Houston. The Woodlands offers artist patrons with buying power. The Woodlands Town Center is a regional draw for more than 1 million people located in North Houston and Montgomery County. We invite participating artists to become one of our VIP Artists at our 2009 festival by donating a work of your art valued at $150 or more to our Friday Evening VIP event. As a VIP Artist you will get special recognition before and during the festival. On Friday evening, April 3 you and a guest will be invited to our VIP 60-Second Art Dash Event at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott benefiting student art scholarships and educational outreach programs. Artists who participated in our VIP Art Lottery last year commented that not only was it a great party with fabulous food and drink, but it was also a prime opportunity to mix with our community leaders and art patrons. Don't miss this unique event! Also, as a VIP Artist your work will be featured on our festival website, giving others a special preview of your work and how to locate you at the festival. We hope that you choose to be a VIP Artist by donating an original work of your art. Tickets for the event are $75 per person and lottery tickets are $100 each. Of course, your event tickets are complimentary. We want you to come and enjoy! The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival in Town Center is presented by The Woodlands Waterway Arts Council, a non-profit organization with Board of Directors, Advisory Committee and more than 500 community volunteers. Proceeds from the event provide funding for educational outreach, art scholarships and art nurturing the arts. Artists may apply once per medium, collaborating artists may apply to participate at the event, but only joint work may be shown and sold. Both names must appear on all applications materials and both artists must contribute to the creation of the art pieces.
