CALL FOR ARTISTS

Champions For the Arts: Downtown Clermont Art Festival — All local and national fine artists are invited to submit applications for the upcoming Champions For the Arts: Downtown Clermont Art Festival. The festival will take place Nov. 7 and 8 in downtown Clermont. The first of two deadlines is July 31. To maintain the integrity and value of this two-day weekend art show, only 50 of the best qualified artists will be accepted from all applicants this year through the juried process. First registered artists will be promoted through social media. If any open spaces remain available, the last artist’s call and final deadline will be Oct. 10. Artists should apply with digital samples via zapplication.org. This new event will not include any artwork by non-juried artists or crafters. Selected artists will compete for cash prizes across five categories: fine art 2-D, fine art 3-D, photography, jewelry and fine crafts. For more information, visit ClermontDowntownPartnership.com or contact Executive Director Ron Smart, (352) 247-4640 or [email protected].
