Artist Challenge Frequently Asked Questions

Interested in joining us?
Here are more details:
Artists will need to bring all the supplies for their project - don’t forget your easel or small table, frame, brushes & paint or other supplies - and business cards for promotion!
If you have a lot of gear to haul, we encourage you to drop it off Friday afternoon, our gallery is open Friday through Sunday 11am-3pm.
Main Street & the first block of Lincoln Way West will be closed by 6 am on Saturday morning.

Parking is available in the parking lot behind our store (behind Olympia Candy Kitchen), and also at CVS/Big Lots/Southgate parking lot.
All parking is always free downtown on weekends!!

We will have artists in front of the Foundry throughout the day, with start times of 10 am, 12 noon & 2 pm.
All artists should let us know their shift preference when they sign up.
(Foundry artists, please try to schedule a painting time around a work shift: we need lots of help that day!)

You will be working outside, so dress accordingly!
At check in, everyone will be given a name tag and a small sign to display that says “Win this artwork, Ask me how”.
When folks inquire (and they will) please direct them to the Foundry to purchase raffle tickets.
They are $5 each or 5 for $20 and all proceeds benefit the opportunities artist from the area have at the Foundry Art Market.
The raffle will run through Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30.

Here’s how the Raffle will work:
People will buy tickets and put them into the jar beside the artwork they like best – or several!
At the end on Small Business Saturday, November 30, a ticket will be drawn at random from each jar, and that person will win the artwork.
The artist who has the most tickets in their jar will win a year’s membership in the Foundry, and the 2nd and 3rd place artists will receive prizes of art supplies or gift certificates.
If you have never painted/created in public please don’t be nervous!
You will be surrounded with our friendly Foundry Artists who’ve done this before and are always willing to help or give you a smile when needed!
