this is a test event summary

Recognized by the New York Times as a reason to visit Chattanooga, the 4 Bridges Arts Festival™ attracts nearly 12,000 enthusiasts every year interested in the work of 150 national artists.
The Festival, presented each year by the Association for Visual Arts (AVA), supports the advancement of original visual art and the artists who create it.

The Fourth Avenue Street Fair, Nationally recognized as one of the premier community celebrations in the Southwest, is held biannually in the gorgeous desert of Tucson, Arizona. Explore this fourty year old tradition that attracts more that 600,000 visitors each year. Our family event offers a moderate to upscale audience, 57% between the ages of 25-54. We host two street level stages, two children's play areas, a children's hands on art activity area and tantalizing treats from 40+ food concessionaires. As always, admission to the festival is free and open to the public.

Every year since 1948 the first full weekend in June brings thousands of art enthusiasts to the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, adjacent to the University of Chicago campus and home of President Barak Obama, for the 57th Street Art Fair. Artists from throughout the country gather to exhibit their original work in a unique outdoor setting and give collectors a chance to buy their wares. Although most exhibitors are returning artists, each year the Fair invites participation by a limited number of new artists whose work has been screened by a jury of art professionals.

Artists new to the Fair are asked to complete an application to submit your work for consideration. Returning artists must submit a completed application to reserve a booth space.  In order to maintain a high quality of work exhibited at the fair, we rescreen work on a rotating basis. Each medium is rescreened every five years.

We look forward to hearing from you!

First and foremost, because Boston Mills is committed to putting on a high-quality art show every year, and we understand that great shows are made up of two components: talented artists, and savvy patrons. We strive to attract both.

Positive word-of-mouth from satisfied customers is our best publicity, of course, but we work tirelessly and year-round to publicize the Artfest. More than 50,000 postcards are sent out to households who have visited the Artfest in previous years, or are in locations with our targeted demographics. Cleveland Magazine prints the show programs and inserts copies into their June issue for distribution. Boston Mills also cultivates media and corporate partnerships to maximize the dollars we put into each year's advertising on a mix of billboards, print, and radio.

We strive to keep our show very artist-friendly. From the Artist Dinner before the show's Preview to the daily newsletters, food discounts, and open communication lines, we strive to make doing our show as easy as possible for all of our Exhibitors.

The Boston Mills Artfest consists of two separate shows on consecutive weekends. For 2014, the first weekend will be June 27th-29th and the second weekend will be July 3rd-6th.

Deadline for applications for the 2014 Boston Mills Artfest will be February 7, 2014.

Our festival is just like our town's name - one of a kind! The Clara Brierly Festival of the Arts (CBFOA) gives a nod to our history of Chautauqua in downtown Peculiar, Missouri (southern tip of the Kansas City Metro area). The event is named for local, outsider artist Clara Brierly. Our festival is a low key, friendlier paced event. The combination indoor/outdoor event is held in the shadow of the 1908, rock building which was formerly a Methodist church (with amazing, turn of the century stained glass windows) at 163 W. Center St., Peculiar, MO. The buildings and surrounding grounds are now the campus of the Downtown Peculiar Arts & Culture District (DPACD); a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization dedicated to the revitalization of our Downtown as an arts district. The CBFOA is a key piece of our Downtown revitalization effort (we are a Missouri Main Street Connection Affiliate grantee, a member of the Missouri Association for Community Arts Agencies and a Missouri Arts Council Creative Community nominee). We are an all volunteer staff. Unlike some for profit festivals, we won't take your money and then leave you on your own! We spend the majority of the year working on this event (among others) and we do all we can to make it an experience you will enjoy, remember and return to each year. Per their post festival surveys, most of our artist vendors do as well at our festival with regard to sales as they do in the larger events held around us; we do believe this is due to increased "face time". The Downtown Peculiar Arts & Culture District (DPACD) gives out Purchase Awards as part of the festival. This year we are fortunate enough to have two, large draw, anchor acts who have committed to actively partner with us to attract crowds as well as numerous smaller draws throughout the weekend to pull constant foot traffic. If you have "heART", you belong here.

Columbus Artfest is a high quality juried fine art fair located in downtown Columbus in the heart of the Architecture Capitol of the Midwest. With the growth and success of the past four years we have decided to expand the festival to two days Saturday August 23rd and Sunday August 24th. Artfest is sponsored by the Columbus Downtown Merchants Association. It is not a fundraising event. The goal of the merchants association is to bring as many shoppers as possible to Artfest and the downtown area.

Approximately 280 national and international artists will be selected from over 1,000 applicants for coveted positions.

Applicants are selected in a completely blind jury process - only the art and booth set up are evaluated for consideration in the show - no other information about the artists is revealed to the jurors.

The Festival offers an eclectic and vibrant atmosphere in which to buy and sell original work—and the opportunity for patrons and artists to meet face to face. The Artists' Market is certainly the heart of the festival, but there are plenty of exciting attractions for everyone to enjoy including live music, poetry, theatrical performances, and a host of hands-on art activities. We invite you to apply to exhibit at the 2014 Columbus Arts Festival.
