Up to TWO pieces of Young Artists artwork will be received at the Community Center on two dates- Thursday August 1st from 6-8:00 pm and Saturday August 3rd from 9-11:30 am.  Works must be framed (or otherwise with finished edges) and WIRED when dropped off (NO Tape). Size is limited to 18x24".  Young Artists artwork may be entered at drop-off if not previously entered via Smarter Entry, but will NOT be displayed on our website unless entered online. 

Please be sure to enter the Young Artist's full name in the Additional Notes field. Categories are based on Student's Grade completed, and works should have been done within that year up to the present.

Artists must make arrangements to pick up displayed artwork between 4-5:30 on Sunday 8/11, as there are no storage facilities available.  The PAF Committee will not be able to receive mailed entries.

Artworks, including those entered online and at drop off, will be juried for prizes.  Winners will be notified and receive an invitation to the Young Artists Awards Ceremony, to be held Friday evening 8/9/24 from 6-7:00.  All are welcome to attend!

We hope you will attend the Arts Festival to enjoy the Juried and Young Artist Exhibits, Artisans Craft Fair, Kids Crafts table, accomplished Artists in Action, and continous live music and dance performances, including a Free Saturday evening concert from 6-8:00!
