Loveland Fine Art Invitational – Loveland Colorado
Vermillion Promotions was requested to create a festival to take the place of long‐standing
nationally ranked sculpture show that suddenly cancelled. The event had been created and
produced by a non‐profit organization for twenty three years. When this organization cancelled
the event, it left a void in the renowned Loveland Art weekend which has always celebrated
three shows running on the same weekend, and providing the City with their largest revenue
weekend of the year. The cancellation also left many professional artists with hole in their
schedule. A large group of these artists contact the group at Vermillion Promotions with a
desire to have us step in and continue the event – it was a short notice, but we agreed, and
after only four years, the Loveland Invitational has been ranked in the top one hundred ?Fine
Art Shows in the nation.

E. Warranty/Guarantee
Vermillion Promotions will be conducting business as stated in the proposal and in accordance
with all deliverables and scheduled due dates that will be outlined in the Project once the scope
of work and location have been defined. Vermillion Promotions understands that the future of
this event will be performance based and agrees to work closely with the City of La Quinta, and
local entities to achieve the goal of providing the City of La Quinta with a top rated spectacular
and interactive art experience.
F. Subcontracting
Vermillion Promotions understands that the City prefers not to have any portion of the scope of
services subcontracted unless proposer can demonstrate to the City’s satisfaction that it is in
the best interest of the project – Vermillion has no intention of subcontracting at this time.
Should an opportunity arise that would benefit the scope of services, we will present this to the
City for mutual agreement.
G. Budget, Timeline, an proof of successful execution
This Proposal was requested and submitted on an expedited basis due to the time constraints
in producing a quality event in March of 2020 ‐ Based on the history of Vermillion Promotion’s
events, references attesting to our credibility, and an outstanding reputation among the artists
objective evidence has been provide to ensure that our Team of professionals can achieve
success to the satisfaction of the City.
Vermillion Promotions is very familiar with the highly rated ‘La Quinta Arts Festival’. Our group
has attended the events in La Quinta, Indian Wells, and Indio for many years. In addition, we
have worked with many of the same artists that have participated in our events, and have
encouraged us to pursue this proposal.

July 22, 2019
In addition to attending the many of the previous La Quinta Art Festivals, Vermillion Promotions
conducted research on the event prior to submitting a proposal. For the past four years, our
group collected festival information, including advertising, images, lists of participating artists,
site layout, sponsors, food vendors, volunteers, jury process, etc.
During this time we have forged relationships with local businesses, non‐profit organizations,
residents, and artists (both local and global), which should prove to be very beneficial in
providing a solid basis for a fast track proposal with a successful outcome. In addition, our
Social media reach in the La Quinta will be significant from day one. This event would
immediately have its own website and face book page.
An estimated budget is attached, however it may be adjusted based on final determination of
the event site and the City’s agreed involvement. It is always our goal to have Artists fees and
sponsorships fund the events. Most of our events are free to the general public with the
exception of Loveland Colorado. If an event is ticketed, we choose a non‐profit to partner with
for a portion of the proceeds. For instance, a Rotary Club, Kiwanis International, Chamber of
Commerce, or Art Organization that can provide volunteers and the event liquor license.
H. Insurance
Upon acceptance of this proposal, Vermillion Promotions will provide the required Insurance
coverage through Fowler Insurance agency and required Auto insurance through USAA.
I. Temporary Use Permit
Required Temporary Use Permits will be completed upon determination and agreement of site
location and venue details between both parties.

Marketing Strategies
The Marketing strategies will be similar to our
successful Arizona and Colorado shows which include
extensive advertising campaigns that are designed to
promote to a broad audience, both regionally and
nationally. Our primary customers are the Artists. They
pay a service/marketing fee, which includes a strong
Marketing campaign, location within the festival to
display and sell their artwork, and allows them to be
associated with the credibility of our events and access
to our large following of upscale clientele. We
understand that special events of this nature can
provide a significant social and economic benefit to the
local community, its artists, and local merchants. Our
event Team is built with the expertise to accomplish
these goals. One of our most recognized attributes is a
strong and diverse network of knowledgeable and
skilled industry professionals who share our high
standards and philosophy.

SCOPE OF WORK – Based on comments in the RFQ Scope Site
Layout (Depending venue site)
o Civic Center Plaza (Map attached)
o Silver Rock Resort (Map Attached)
Civic Center Plaza ‐ Site layout would remain the same as
previous festivals held at that this location. Patrons and artists
are already familiar with the geography and set‐up.
Silver Rock – If grounds are completed and consistent with
Phase 1 enhanced artist rendering, booths would be placed in
meandering rows along the walkways, and in quad formations
on the interior, along with a designated Sculpture garden area.
Vermillion Promotions has a Civil Engineer on staff that designs
our site plans with AutoCAD or Visio. Once the terrain is
confirmed we can quickly detail a map for publication.
NUMBER OF ARTISTS
Call to artists will be for approximately 200 juried fine
artists. The Show should be similar in size and of the same

caliber of art that patron’s have come to expect in La
Quinta
ESTIMATED ATTENDANCE
The previous Festival held in La Quinta has an estimated
attendance at 20,000. Based on historical data, we will
plan for 20,000. The only way to be sure is through gate
receipts, parking spaces, etc.
Note* typically it takes 3‐5 years to build a successful
signature event. A published cancellation of a previous event
can have an effect on established attendance numbers, so its
possible attendance may be lighter the first year.
PARKING PLAN
City has provided parking spaces for both Civic Center
Plaza and Silver Rock. Depending on construction
activities, we will rely on these numbers and locations. If
there are unanticipated changes prior to the event, we will
work with the City and traffic control to provide
appropriate signage, shuttles, etc.

FLAT FEE OR COMMISION BASED SHOW
Vermillion Promotions proposes a flat fee charged to the artists
at this time. In the future, when time allows we may consider a
partnership with a significant non‐profit organization and
implement a percentage based event. Or, we could also
consider a separate large tent for a commission based sculpture
show, to benefit a specific charity organization.
DEDICATED AND DEFINED PROJECT TEAM
Our team consists of a highly motivated and dedicated team of
industry professionals that happen to share a love of the arts,
and have worked together for many years. In addition to our

SHOWCASE ART
Vermillion Promotions has established credibility and working
relationships among artists from coast to coast, many of whom
have participated in prestigious shows from New York to
California, including La Quinta Art Festival.
The key to a high caliber art show is a rigorous and transparent
Jury process which we have already outlined.

artists from the Community. La Quinta is home to many
talented artists and we believe that our jury process should
include a representation of talented local artists as well.
