July 2, 2014 – The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites local artists to submit their work for consideration for the Juried Art Show at the 11th Annual Celebrate Mansfield Festival (formerly the “Festival on the Green”). The Celebrate Mansfield Festival will be Sunday, September 21 from noon to 4:00 pm on the Town Square.
A Call to Artists and Prospectus are available on the Celebrate Mansfield Festival website, www.downtownstorrsfestival.org, for local artists who are interested in submitting works for consideration. Interested artists may contact the Partnership office at 860.429.2740 to request these items or to receive additional information about this wonderful community event.
Area artists wishing to exhibit may submit up to four (4) pieces of creative works of original art for review. These pieces may be two- or three-dimensional; they must be no more than 36 inches by 48 inches (the maximum single measurement for sculptures must be 48 inches). This measurement includes the frame. A selection committee will determine what pieces will be shown. Of the shown pieces, a jury will award the following prizes: Best in Show ($250), First ($125), Second ($100), and Third ($75) during the Celebrate Mansfield Festival. There is a non-refundable $10 entry fee. The deadline to submit is Friday, August 15, 2014.
Participation in the Festival’s Juried Art Show is a unique opportunity for local artists to showcase their work and to join in the celebration of Mansfield. Our community will have the opportunity to enjoy fine art created by neighbors and friends and to become more aware of the quality of artists in our region.
