Lincoln Arts Festival Call For Artists!
On Monday, February 4th, the Lincoln Arts Council will be accepting applications for participation in the 2013 Lincoln Arts Festival. This premier art event in Lincoln brings over one hundred artists from all over the country to SouthPointe Pavilions for a fun weekend of art sales and demonstrations. Great weather brought just under fifteen thousand art lovers last year. We expect to grow this year with more great artists, memorable food and fabulous live music wrapped in a festival atmosphere that everyone enjoys.
If selling your art in an outdoor, festival setting seems like a good idea, go to www.zapplication.org to find out about our festival, and many other festivals all over the country. You will submit your application online on Zapplication. Photos and a $25 jury fee are required, with easy instructions right on Zapplication. Join us for a great weekend at a festival that many of our artists say is their favorite.
