Rancho Murieta Fine Art & Wine Festival
For International artists
Rancho Murieta, located east of Sacramento, CA, lies in the rolling hills. Rancho Murieta is a closed gated community of about 3000 upscale homes, two championship golf courses, and three recreational lakes. Rancho Murieta is rich with history; most notably the homestead of the iconic Hollywood figure- Zorro. Rancho Murieta is well known for hosting televised networked events with an amphitheater which promotes the arts.
This 2nd Annual Fine Art & Wine Event undoubtedly will be an event that will become a must on your calendar in the coming years. An estimated 40,000 will be in attendance along with 45 wineries, live entertainment, hot air balloon exhibits and gourmet food. This year’s event dates are September 26, 27, & 28, 2014.
As a fellow artist and chair of this event, I would like to commit to you that announcing this event will be an ongoing process in the coming months. Prime time television ads, newspaper announcements along with radio interviews and commercials will be airing routinely with the heaviest concentrations two weeks before the event to ensure the greatest impact for the event.
Amenities for participating artists include cash prizes, drawings for free booth space for the 2015 event, catered breakfast, booth sitters, volunteers for load in/load out, free parking and an awards dinner Saturday night with awards and door prizes.
Artists are juried as soon as the application is received and notification of acceptance or denial is sent 2 weeks later; so APPLY NOW.

Dear Fellow Artist:
The 2014 season is about to be kicked off with some exciting announcements. The first announcement is the 2nd Annual Fine Art and Wine Festival to be held September 27 & 28, 2014 in Rancho Murieta, California- a few miles east of Sacramento.
This is not your ordinary two day festival- this is a two day event that is held in a closed gated community with approximately 2300 upscale homes, two championship golf courses and the public is invited to attend. This festival will feature over 40 wineries in a large, beautiful tent pavilion and live entertainment is expected to be ongoing for the two days.
This is truly a unique opportunity for artists to participate due to the lay out of the venue. The festival will be held on the practice golf course grounds to allow ample space for artists and patrons alike. The golf course will be closed for this event. Booth sizes will be a comfortable 15′ x 15′ or 15′ x 25′.
The Association of Independent Artists has endorsed this event and is setting a new standard for artists who participate in this event and future AOIA events. Artists will become automatic members of the AOIA upon acceptance into this show. Artists will enjoy the amenities of this festival with catered breakfast furnished by AOIA, booth sitters, and volunteers for load in/ load out.
The AOIA will host a Saturday night awards dinner for all artists. There will be cash awards, multiple drawings for free booth space for 2015, and door prizes.
As part of setting a new standard for this festival, all artist applications will be juried as the applications are received and notification of acceptance or denial sent via email TWO weeks later. Early registration is encouraged as we are limiting the number of duplicate mediums. So, apply as soon as possible. Should you have any further questions, or need additional help applying, contact Michelle at the AOIA office. 435-703-8851
Thank you.
Mike Beals, President
