We know and understand the nature of us human beings! And we know you ask questions, well some of you do and some of us do not. We have attempted to put together a few for you right here! Please check back often because we are confident that someone will ask us a question that we will add to the list! Thank you for your interest in our community project!

Together we can make a difference!

What is E.X.P.O.A.R.T.? It is a collaboration of people that have come together to create an open space that will celebrate the artisans and makers from the heart of Mineral Wells and surrounding areas in Palo Pinto County. It will be a day of sharing inspiration and igniting a spark in our community. It is a day of culture and an opportunity to hear the voice of God through the arts!

Why E.X.P.O.A.R.T.? We are providing a platform, a gathering, to bring artisans into one place and in doing so we hope to ignite the hungry creatives to go for the gold.  This will be an interactive art gallery (expo) that spurs hope, builds others up, and encourages all of us to reach a little deeper! Art, no matter what form or style a message of hope will be presented!

Where is E.X.P.O.A.R.T.? Well of Life Church located in the Mineral Wells Chicken Express parking lot will be the location of the first annual E.X.P.O.A.R.T. We are excited they are allowing us to use their facilities!

Who Can Participate? You will find two different applications on our web-page with more details!

How Old Do You Need To Be To Submit An Application As One Of the Artisans?  Any age is welcome to apply; however if you are under the age of 18 you will need a parent or legal guardian to sign for you too! We want the young artisans to participate!

Who Can Attend? We welcome all - We have designed this to be a great family outing!

Does it cost money? There will not be any admission fees.

Is this a Vendor Show? No, it is not! Due to limited space we have not set this up to be a place for you to sell your art. We want to showcase your art and feature you as the artist! Think of it as an art gallery that is featuring a select group of artisans for a limited time only!

Will there be anything for sale? No

Can the Pre-Selected Artisans have their business cards on display? Yes! We encourage you to bring your business cards and display them. If you have a product brochure or small flyer that works too! Anything with your name, phone number and webpage is good!

How much room will each artisan be given to display their craft? This question is on the artisan application and you have the opportunity to tell us how much space your craft would need!

Does the artisan need to be present the day of the event? No, however you will still need to go through the application process and sign a release form and you will be responsible to have someone pick up your craft at the end of the show.

Can we take pictures? Yes! We welcome you to do so; a few selfies with the artisans is always fun! When you arrive at the E.X.P.O.A.R.T. you will be handed a treasure map and given a few brief instructions and suggested guidelines. One of the most important items to remember is that of “intellectual property.” All of the art you will see will be the exclusive property of the artist themselves. You cannot take photos and use them for your personal gain. Please help us to show great respect to our artisans!

What about that Social Media Stuff?  You will receive a treasure map at the door when you enter. On your treasure map you will find the hashtags we will be inviting you to share on our social media sites. You can find us on Instagram and Facebook. Be sure and look for the special photo challenge if you love taking pictures!
