Art Works Foundation announces its second Art in The Loop, an Art Festival in Memphis, TN (formerly Art Squared), Friday, April 5th – Sunday, April 7th, 2019.

Art in The Loop will be staged for the second year in east Memphis, near Poplar & I-240, on Ridgeway Loop Road. This unique site is situated in between 1.5 million square feet of high level offices and one of Memphis' most exclusive residential areas (the founders of FedEx & AutoZone live right around the corner), In addition to offices, the area boasts several hotels (including the Memphis Hilton) and a 4 screen Cinema dedicated to films attractive to the over 45 audiences; there is even a trendy Mega-Church in view of our festival site, from which we hope to pick up additional traffic on Sunday.  Our Sponsors include: WKNO TV & FM, the local PBS & NPR Affiliates & Memphis Magazine.

Art in The Loop will feature – and focus on the sale of – stellar works of art in metal, glass, clay, wood, fiber, jewelry, sculpture, paintings & photography, and more.  We will limit the number of artists by category, and are more concerned about the quality of work presented than the number of spaces we sell: from 40 to 60 artists will be admitted this first year.

All Artists selected will have corner spaces.

We expect Art in The Loop to benefit greatly from its location in the most affluent part of Memphis, and its close proximity to the up-scale suburb of Germantown TN.

Booth fees are low, hours are easy and no fancy set-up is required.

Shoppers eager to buy line up early outside the front door ready to take home deals.

Do you have work sitting in your studio that you aren’t crazy about?
Do you need feedback from shoppers on new work, designs, colors?
Did you unload a kiln only to discover a few firing mishaps?
Have you been hauling around pieces that can’t seem to find a home?
BRING THEM TO THE ART STUDIO CLEARANCE SALE!
 
How is our sale unique?

• Groove to the oldies played each day as shoppers bebop through the aisles (sometimes literally), searching for bargains.
• Remember the fun of shopping with "blue light specials"? WE HAVE THEM HERE! We roll out the flashing blue light for artists and announce creative sales gimmicks throughout the show to drive shoppers to your booth.
• Artists only “Garage Sale Swap” – look behind the curtain for artist supplies, display materials, tents, dollies, and whatever our artists need to unload. Deals are made between artists–one artist’s trash is another's...

This unique event embraces the imperfect or flawed ‘seconds’ that never see the light of commerce, as well as the best each artist has to offer; the only "seconds" show in the southeast!

The Blue Light Special Art Show will be held December 8-9th from 9-4 on Saturday and 11-4 on Sunday at Cahaba ClayWorks and Earthborn Studios located at 7575 Parkway Drive in Leeds—just up the hill from the Bass Pro Shop. 
 

We have over 50 artists at this last-show-of-the-Christmas season. Artists that make their living selling at various art shows generally end up with pieces that have been nicked or otherwise damaged in the constant loading and unloading that they do. This is their opportunity to sell these pieces at a discount as well as present the very best they have to offer.
 

The show is inside a 24K sq. ft. building so folks can shop, have lunch, stay out of the weather and give back to the community all in one visit.  Join with us to support ‘Empty Bowls’ a hunger-prevention endeavor pairing local potters and local Chefs who will be providing lunch. For a nominal donation ($25) you’ll get hot soup and bread, with a hand made Earthborn porridge bowl, which you keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. Proceeds go to First Light Women’s Shelter. There is a modest $2 entry fee we share with First Light also.

What: Colorado Artist Image Review Workshop presented by the Cherry Creek Arts Festival & ZAPPlication

Why: Have you ever wondered what does a professional artist jury look like, and what do those jurors in the projected jury room see? Or asked how do my images look enlarged and displayed when projected? Join us at CherryArts on November 7, 2018 to see your images projected in a true jury setting. The projected jury method, uses the Zapplication JuryBuddy™ technology with projection equipment to showcase artists’ applications simultaneously and receive feedback from professional former Cherry Creek Arts Festival jurors. The goal of this FREE workshop is to help best present your work to art show juries and increase the number of shows that accept your work for exhibition.
