Ever wondered what your art may look like on a poster or shirt? Ever wonder what kind of sales artists make in the festival’s prime location on the corner of Anthes and First? If you’re curious about either question, let’s talk.
Choochokam Arts is looking for its poster art for 2012, its 37th year.
Please don’t send art right now. Let’s talk concepts and ideas. For info, please contact festival co-director Sherry Jennings for info. 360-914-1863 or langley@whidbey.com.
The Langley Community Club has issued an urgent call for volunteers to staff the merchandise and info booths at this weekend’s festival. If you love Choochokam, please consider giving back in a 2- or 3-hour shift Saturday, Sunday or both days. Please send your name, email, phone and preferable times to rbach1449@whidbey.com ASAP.
The small Choochokam team is always very appreciative of any time volunteers can offer to help make this festival a great success. If you volunteer, you’ll receive “beverage bucks” for the Chamber Beer & Wine Garden.
Thank you in advance for your help!
