On Sunday, September 28, 2014, EAG will sponsor the 12th Annual Excelsior Art and Music Festival. The theme for this year’s event is Green the Excelsior through Art. EAG is calling for artists to submit a 8.5′ x 11′ color sketch that embodies this theme. The Festival Committee will vote on the artist’s sketch they would like to produce into Festival artwork for the 12th Annual Festival. Festival artwork will generally be used in event promotional materials such as posters, postcards, signs, website (www.excelsiorfestival.org), and event t- shirts. Artist will receive a competitive stipend for their time and labor ($250 – $500 DOE). This application is open to artists of all ages and skill levels, although those in residence or with a connection to the Excelsior will receive preference. Submissions will be accepted until April 1, 2014 at 5:00 PM. Artists will be notified by April 15, 2014 if they have been accepted. Only one artist will be selected.
