The Julian Arts Guild and the Menghini Winery present:
The 23nd Annual Menghini Winery: Arts, Wine and Music Festival


Saturday and Sunday, September 26th & 27th, 2009
From 10 am to 5 pm

Each year as the apples ripen amid the beautiful mountains of historic Julian, locals begin to prepare for a down-home, small town tradition, The Menghini Arts, Wine and Music Festival. This event will mark the 23nd year of the celebration which has a strong local following and attracts tourists from all over San Diego County. Come and enjoy a great time visiting with outstanding regional artists and musicians, while inhaling clean mountain air and sipping locally grown and produced wine.

LOCATION: Menghini Winery: 2 miles north of Julian, CA on Farmers Rd.


Exhibitors Information:


Download application
All art must be original and made by the applying artists. No mass produced, kits or imported work will be allowed. There will be no jury fee.

ENTRY FEE:  Non Julian Arts Guild members: $50.00. JAG members: $20.00

SPACE SIZE: 10 x 10. All spaces will be set in the orchard surrounding the winery and marked with orange flags. Artists will be selecting their own space on a first-come-first-served basis. This has worked well in the past as the show is of modest size and artists can set up the night before if they wish. Some artists may want to locate further from the music stage, some closer. Few areas have shade all the time, so please bring a canopy that can be weighted down as we sometimes get wind. Overall presentation must be reasonably contained within the 10 x 10 area. There is plenty of parking and artists may drive up to the display spaces to unpack.

RAFFLE:  The musicians are partially paid by money from the raffle, and we would greatly appreciate the donation of a small item for the raffle. Thank you in advance. Please mark on your application if you will be giving a donation.

SET-UP: Friday afternoon from 3 PM, and Saturday from 7am.
Please move cars to parking area by 9:30 am.

TAKE-DOWN: Sunday after the close of the show: 5 PM.

DEADLINE: Non Julian Arts Guild members: September 15th 2009.
NOTIFICATION: ASAP by email or letter or phone call.
No admission is charged to this event, and no security is provided for the exhibitors



“Plein Air” Contest


This is primarily for kids, but adults can also enter.  Entry and creation is on Saturday with judging on Sunday.  Bring your paper, canvas, pencils, pens, paints, magic markers, crayons or whatever other utensils you want to use.


  1. The entry fee for the competition is $5 for kids and $10 for adults.
  2. Each artist may submit one (1) work to be judged.
  3. All pictures should be drawn on site in the Julian area on Saturday, September 26, 2009.
  4. Pictures must be turned into the Julian Arts Guild Booth by 10:30 a.m. Sunday, September 27, 2009.
  5. Works may be in pen,  pencil, crayon, watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastels or any combination of these.  Photographs and collages will not be accepted.
  6. Works submitted must be done by the entrant and not by anyone else.  Other persons may offer verbal advice to the entrant but may not physically participate in the creation of the work.
  7. Winners will be announced at noon Sunday.  Entrants do not have to be present to win but pictures must be picked up before the close of the Festival on Sunday.  If not, they will be disposed of as the Julian Arts Guild wishes.

 

The driving idea is to get kids to look at their world in a different way but there will also be prizes in the 12 and under, 13-17, and adult categories with 1st prize being $50. 


Connie Newgard is organizing walks into the Santa Ysabel and Volcan Nature Preserves to particularly lovely spots at 10 and 4. 


This will be a wonderful opportunity!
