Art Fest is a unique exhibition exclusively
showcasing Johnson County artists. Initially presented in celebration
of the county's Sesquicentennial in 2005, Art Fest has continued
as an annual tribute to the widely diverse talents of the many
artists residing in Johnson County. The existence and success
of Art Fest is due in large part to the efforts of the
late Robert G. Endres, one of the exhibit's
co-founders.
Each year the juried exhibition features a creative assortment
of artwork that includes paintings, ceramics, photography and mixed
media. All of the pieces on display are available for purchase
and a portion of each sale benefits the nature center. There
is no admission charge to the exhibit.
Art Fest is open to artists currently residing in Johnson County
who are 21 years of age or older. It is limited to original,
wall-mounted art executed no more than two years prior to the
exhibition.
Art Fest is made possible through the generous
support of Johnston, Ballweg & Modrcin,
LC. The exhibit's Organizing Committee includes A.J.
LoScalzo, Alberta McGrath, and Nancy
Wallerstein.
The deadline for artists to submit entries for the 2012 exhibit is August 3. The Call for Entries brochure providing entry details will not be available until late spring. In the meantime, artists may refer to the 2011 Call for Entries for general information regarding the entry process.
Artists interested in being added to the Art Fest notification list should send an email that includes name, mailing address, email address and phone number to communityrelations@jocogov.org.
