VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Arts and Music Festival is accepting submissions for visual artists to participate in a juried art exhibit Aug. 1-3 as part of the festival programming. There is a $30 application fee for up to three entries; the deadline to apply is Saturday, June 7.
Artists from all disciplines and backgrounds are invited to submit their original 2D and 3D work to the juried exhibition, which will celebrate creativity, culture and community. The exhibit highlights the themes of collaboration, inclusivity and the diverse identities that make up our community.
“This year’s exhibit focuses on the power of art to unite, inspire and reflect our shared human experience,” said exhibit coordinator Sharon Svec. “We intend to reflect the values of the Vancouver Arts and Music Festival while encouraging a broad range of artists to participate through the exhibition of meaningful works.”
The juried art exhibit is sponsored by Johnson Bixby and Integrated Tax Services, and features five awards, each with a $300 cash prize:
- Three Juror-Selected Awards
- One Mayor’s Choice Award
- One People’s Choice Award
- Additional opportunities such as mentorships, community partnerships and future exhibits may also be offered to award winners
The Vancouver Arts and Music Festival welcomes award-winning musicians, visual artists and performers July 31 to Aug. 3 in historic Esther Short Park (605 Esther Street). In addition to the juried art exhibit, the free four-day event hosts multiple stages, pop-up galleries, dance performances, family activities and food vendors. Presented by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra USA and the City of Vancouver, the Vancouver Arts and Music Festival celebrates culture, community and the unbridled joy of experiencing the arts together.
The call for juried art exhibit submissions is open through Saturday, June 7 and selected artists will be notified by Saturday, July 12. Learn more and apply at www.vancouverartsandmusicfestival.com.
