Dear Artist:

Greetings from Virginia Beach!  Thank you for your interest in the inaugural Va. Beach Surf Art Expo! 
 
This will be a very unique show! The Virginia Beach Surf Art Expo is produced in conjunction with the Steel Pier Classic surfing event.   With an aggressive marketing campaign, we expect the tourists visiting Va. Beach for the Memorial Day holiday weekend to attend the event.  In addition, there is a strong local attendance of families that live in the surrounding neighborhoods at the beach year round who embrace the beach lifestyle.  They have supported this event from the beginning.  We feel this is a target potential customer for you, as these families cover their walls and mantels with surf art.   They are true surf art collectors!

If you create any type of art from any medium that has a relationship with surfing, the ocean, sea life, water scenes, shells, coral, dolphins, fish, etc. please apply.  We're working with the hotels that are walking distance to the event site to make your stay in Va. Beach comfortable, convenient, and affordable.  Our goal is to reach out to a broad base of surf artists.  We hope that our show will be something new, something special, and something different from any other art show in Va. Beach.  Please spread the word and tell your friends and fellow artists about the Steel Pier Classic & Surf Art Expo in sunny Virginia Beach, VA ---- the largest resort city on the East Coast!

Come join us Memorial Day Weekend at the beach!

All the best,

Jodie Woodward, Virginia Beach Surf Art Expo Director
