Meet the Artists - Breckenridge

Meet the Artists Breckenridge (MTA) is a juried art festival held annually on the weekend before July 4th. For over 20 years, the show has been limited to 34 Colorado artists and takes place in the Blue River Plaza along Main Street and the lawn of the Riverwalk Performing Arts Center, providing exposure to visitors, second home owners, and locals of this historic mountain town.

Eligibility: All artists must be Colorado residents. All work must be original and produced directly by the artist. Attendance by the artist is required both days of the event. The Summit County Arts Council makes final selections, striving for a variety of art and balanced genres. Booth spaces are 10 x 10 (single, $275) or 10 x 20 (double, $500). The festival takes place outdoors at 9,600 feet elevation; suitable protection from sun, wind, and rain is recommended. Weights are required to protect booths; no staking is allowed. Electricity is limited and provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Artists may request specific booth locations or corner booths based on application receipt date.

Applications require four color digital images: three showing individual pieces representative of current work, and one of your display and booth setup. A brief artist statement describing your artwork, process, and experience is also required. The jury/application fee is $25 (non-refundable). Booth fees are due upon acceptance. If accepted to both MTA shows (Frisco and Breckenridge), a $25 discount coupon applies to the Frisco booth fee. Application deadline: April 24, 2015. Acceptance notification: April 30, 2015.
