Edwardsville Arts Center seeks artists, sponsors for upcoming art fair

Plans for the Edwardsville Arts Center’s Annual Art Fair are underway and artists from all over the U.S. are being asked to apply. The event will be happening again in downtown Edwardsville the weekend of Sept. 27-29. Last year, nearly 100 artists from across the nation participated.

The Arts Center will give consideration to all artists, whether they are budding artists or seasoned ones.

The event is promoted as a chance to enjoy shopping, mingling and art appreciation.

The deadline for submissions is June 1 and artists may apply by visiting www.edwardsvilleartscenter.com.

The juried Art Fair has food and drink and a full line-up of entertainers on stage, and a children’s grand tent for creating art. The event is a three-day opportunity for the artists to showcase their talents and sell their wares. Additionally, judges will award $15,000 in prize money to selected participating artists.
