Alki Advisory Council and the Alki Art Fair Organizing Committee press release:

The Alki Advisory Council and the Alki Art Fair Organizing Committee are proud to present the 14th annual Alki Art Fair on July 23 and 24, 2011.

In previous years, the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation (Parks and Rec) sponsored this event, thus covered the costs of the renting the beach and Bathhouse, staff time, and advertising. Parks and Rec funding for the 2011 Alki Art Fair was completely eliminated because of drastic budget cuts within Parks and Rec. The Alki Advisory Council and Alki Art Fair Committee must cover all the costs this year. We are therefore asking for sponsors and donations to help cover the operating costs to put on this wonderful summer event.

The unique venue at Alki Beach Park fair draws over 4,000 visitors each year to enjoy fine arts and crafts produced by over 60 local artists along with two days of live music performances and free children’s art activities. In addition, this year the fair will be celebrating the centennial of the Alki Bathhouse with exhibits and activities provided by the Southwest Seattle Historical Society/Log House Museum.
