With the economy being as it is, the Gosport Arts Festival has decided to reduce space fees for the show hoping that this will make it easier for you to decide to participate in the 2009 festival.

Traditionally, participating artists have represented a wide variety of mediums, styles, tastes and cultures. Past shows have included artists presenting oil, watercolor, pastels, charcoal, pencil, pen & ink, mixed media, photography, pottery, sculpture, fiber, stained glass, jewelry, metal, wood, clay, clothing, furniture, musical instruments, paper and much more.

More than $7,000 in awards:

The show is physically located on High Street, which is a four-lane asphalt-paved street with a raised-curb grass median. 

Artist spaces are laid out with the back of the space against the center divider's curb. 

Spaces are 12' deep and 10' wide.  This size allows artists with a standard 10' x 10' tent two feet of storage space behind their tent.  Artist tents are grouped together in pairs, with at least a 4' gap between each pair.  This gap allows every artist in the show to open their booth on two sides, if they so desire.

Visitors to the show walk in the outside (or parking) lane or on the wide brick-paved sidewalks. Much of the street is tree-lined. The neighborhood consists of quaint shops, popular restaurants, the Tidewater Community College Visual Arts building, and the Children's Museum of Virginia. Ferries from Norfolk load and discharge at the entrance to the show.
