The Artist Summit

THE ARTIST SUMMIT

The Artist Summit is two day artist program for the professional makeup artist and those who share their passion for the art of makeup.  The program consists of two days of artist events including seminars, hands-on workshops, panel forums and The Summit Shop - a retail environment at the event. An opening event on the evening of the first day of the Summit will also be a part of the program. Over the two days of the event attendees will have access to over 70 seminars and forums and 16 hands-on workshops.

THE SUMMIT SHOP

The Summit Shop is a retail environment that will be located within the space of The Artist Summit. The shop is not a “trade show floor”. The environment will be set up with a consistent tabling and draping for all sponsors who are a part of the environment. The space will not be designed to allow for full booth installations, however custom tabletop signage and floor signage is encouraged.

Demonstrations may happen behind counter space or one demo per every 12 feet of counter space on the outside of the counter area.

The Summit Shop will open 30 minutes prior to the first event each day and closing 30 minutes after the last event of each day ends.  The general pro-public will be invited to come and experience The Summit Shop without a requirement to participate in the Summit.

*There will be no charge to enter The Summit Shop for attendees or non-attendees of The Summit.
