Art in Bloom 2017 Fine Art Exhibition

Art in Bloom 2017 Fine Art Exhibition runs April 14–23 at the historic Depot Arts Center in Anacortes, Washington. In its 4th year, the exhibition is the centerpiece of the Anacortes Arts Festival, with proceeds supporting arts education for K-12 school children. The show targets emerging collectors and features work from selected artists, including smaller scale work, limited edition original prints, and larger collections of related work such as ceramics.

The exhibition is open to both 2D work (painting, photography, mixed media) and 3D work (sculpture, ceramic, glass, jewelry, fiber arts). All 2D artwork must be original work or prints created in an edition of 50 or less. A jury of artists and arts professionals will select multiple pieces from each artist. All work must be for sale; the Festival retains a 50% commission. The Festival presents $1,000 in awards including $500 for Patrons Choice and $500 for Best of Show.

Entry deadline is January 17, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Entry fee is $20. Submit 1–8 images of your work. Accepted artists will be notified January 26. Art intake is Sunday, April 9 (with an alternate intake at the Festival office Thursday, April 6). Mailed artwork must arrive by April 6, 2017 and requires a $20 handling fee plus return postage. All work must be ready for display upon arrival. Festival insurance covers up to $2,500 per piece; additional insurance is the artist's responsibility. Artists will receive payment within two weeks after the event for any work sold. Contact: [email protected]
