DULUTH, Minn. (Dec. 12, 2011) -- Artists are invited
to apply for entry into the 42nd annual Park Point Art
Fair, which features 115 visual artists exhibiting and
selling their work June 23 and 24, 2012 at the Park
Point Recreation Area in Duluth, Minn. Applications
are due (postmarked) March 1.
This is a juried art fair of original, handmade work
in clay, jewelry, glass, fiber, sculpture, photography,
wood, painting, leather, 2D & 3D mixed media. Not
accepted: kits, patterns, buy/sell or country crafts.
Applicants submit four slides or electronic samples
(jpeg) representing the work they will show and sell.
A jury of three art professionals will judge the slides
based on craftsmanship and originality. The highest
scores in each category are then selected to attend
the two-day event, where more than $1,000 in cash awards,
including a $300 Best of Show, are bestowed upon artists.
In 2011, 121 artists were selected from a pool of local,
regional and national applicants. The free event attracted
an estimated 8,000 - 10,000 visitors for its fine arts
and crafts, food court, live music, interactive arts
for children, storytelling, a puppet show and more.
The Park Point Art Fair is presented by the Park Point
Community Club, a volunteer citizen group that uses
art fair proceeds to support local youth activities,
