The 2017 Sounds and Sights Festival Art Market has announced a call for artists. The market will take place July 28 and 29 during the 41st Annual Sounds and Sights Festival in downtown Chelsea.
The organizers are seeking unique regional artists and crafts people of outstanding quality for its juried 2017 Art Market.
The application deadline is Friday, March 24.
The Sounds and Sights Festival Art Market is an indie arts and crafts fair coinciding with a variety of festivities and attractions associated with the Chelsea Sounds and Sights Festival http://www.chelseafestivals.com, which begins the evening of Thursday, July 27 with Art Market running Friday and Saturday, July 28 and 29 from noon-8 p.m.
The two-day, three-night festival draws over 15,000 visitors annually and features national and regional live music acts, local food and brew, a sculpture walk http://www.chelsearivergallery.com/sculpture-walk/ and activities for the entire family.
“Last year, the newly revamped Chelsea Art Market was a huge success thanks to the variety of unique exhibitors,” said Patti Schwarz, art market program coordinator and director of River Gallery + Exhibits.
“The selected artists brought more than their goods to sell, they brought young energy and lots of fresh ideas that we will also incorporate into this year’s event,” she said.
The Art Market is a juried event limited to 50 local and regional arts and crafts people of exceptional quality. Artists willing to demonstrate their processes are also highly sought. Booth fee is $100 for the weekend. Demonstrating artists participate for the reduced rate of $50.
