2010 Art in the Park application

Application Due: July 1, 2010 postmark ~ Notification: Mid-August

The Southwest Missouri Art and Craft Guild members are pleased to invite you to participate in the application process for the 16th annual Art in the Park Show and Sale. Art in the Park is one of the few art fairs in the country that was created by artists for artists. It continues in that spirit with thoughtful regard for professional artists who earn their livelihood from their work. Selection by jury is based on quality and originality. This promotes the goal of producing a show of fine art and craft in which each artist feels honored to participate. Art in the Park has cultivated a reputation among artists and patrons alike as being one of the few juried art and craft shows in the region. Patrons look forward to this festival all year to collect the work of their favorite artists, become acquainted with
new ones and get a head start on their holiday shopping. The beauty of Springfield’s historic Sequiota cave and park provides a serene setting where Springfieldians gather to enjoy the colorful fall foliage, hiking and biking trails and, on one weekend of the year, an exhibit of the finest art and craft available in Southwest Missouri.

The Application PDF File explains all the details of the AWARDS, AMENITIES, JURY PROCESS, SCHEDULE, EXHIBIT SPACE, APPLICATION PROCESS, and RULES  & REGULATIONS.
