The mission of the California Nut Festival is to connect consumers and farmers, cultivate an understanding of nut production in California and how California nuts fit into a healthy lifestyle. Proceeds are dedicated to the development of the Patrick Ranch Museum to preserve and interpret the agricultural history of the Sacramento Valley.

The California Nut Festival (CNF) would like to complement their activities with art from local artists.  Works do not specifically have to relate to agriculture, but obviously would be most welcome.  We are looking for a range of artistry, both 3-d and 2-d. If you would like to participate please complete the the following registration form:

There are two ways to participate:

1.   Booth space - 8x8 ft. (approximate) (6-8 based on number of artists participating)

2.   Art Gallery :  Two pieces guaranteed, more if space allows.  You will be notified prior to setup if more art can be hung.  You may also have prints and cards available for sale as well. You must provide your own racks.

Entry Fee: $35
