But a festival coordinator said it cannot happen without volunteers. Festival coordinator Cathryn Lehman said the festival is in need of volunteers. The work fluctuates from food booths to information booths. The festival displays artwork and entertainment by students and artists from across the country. The festival receives about 800 applications.
Artists submit three slides of work, and a jury evaluates who is chosen.
Another attraction to submitting work is the prize money. Mike and Mary Mcintyre, artists in the festival for 15 years, said they always are honored to be included in the festival. The show will be on April 25 and 26. Artists must submit their artworks by Jan. 5, and entertainers must apply by Feb. 27. All rights reserved.
