The festival will be held indoors, in the Christian Life Center (corner of Market and Sevier Street in downtown Benton) on Friday, April 27 and Saturday, April 28. The festival will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. The doors to the CLC will be locked at night, so booths can be left up overnight.

Please include a sheet or document listing the entries, along with size and media.

Artists without computer access may send 5 x 7” photographs.

Acceptance:

All entries must be received by March 15, 2012. Entries will be judged for appropriateness by The Fine Arts Ministry. All work will be viewed by a wide audience that includes children, so no nudes or very disturbing images please. Although we want to accommodate as many artists as possible, space is limited. All accepted artists will be notified by or before April 1.

Cost: 
Accepted artists will be required to pay a nonrefundable $20 fee to reserve a 10’ x 10’ space. FUMC will provide one large table for the display of artwork. The artist must supply any additional tables, easels, or display systems.

Commission:

None

Liability:

FUMC cannot be held liable for artwork damaged or otherwise lost during the festival. Since the doors to the CLC will be locked at night, artists will have the option of leaving their displays up overnight.
