6th Annual Cheyenne Arts Festival

The 6th Annual Cheyenne Arts Festival (CAF) takes place August 18-20, 2017 at the historic Cheyenne Depot and Depot Plaza in Downtown Cheyenne. The festival is a production of Arts Cheyenne, with key sponsorship from the Cheyenne Downtown Development Authority/Main Street and the Wyoming Arts Council.

The festival features almost 5,000 square feet of indoor, air-conditioned space for juried visual artists, as well as outdoor exhibit spaces. Additional programming includes a welcome reception for visual artists and patrons, a purchase awards program with more than $5,000 in guaranteed sales, a two-day music and dance performance schedule, hands-on art workshops for young people, and an Artisan Boulevard with food and beverages.

Visual artists must submit 4-6 images of their creative work and 1 image of their typical artist exhibit space setup. Entry deadline is June 16, 2017. Entry fee is $25.00. Accepted artists will be notified by May 15, 2017. Exhibit space fee is $225 per 10x10' indoor or outdoor space. Artist sharing is allowed, up to two artists per exhibit space. No commission is taken on works sold. Electrical power is provided for both indoor and outdoor spaces (limited to 5 amps or 550 watts). Indoor artists are responsible for their own display walls, tables, and chairs; outdoor artists must bring their own canopies, display walls, tables, and chairs. Each artist is provided with an exhibitor sign listing the artist name(s), exhibit space number, medium, and hometown. CAF volunteers are available to assist with unloading, setup, breakdown, and load-out.
