Applications for 2023's ArtFest have gone live! Find them at ExchangeArts.org/artfest-exhibitors.In 2023, Bloomsburg’s annual ArtFest turns fifteen years old, and we want you to come to the party! The event will take place on Saturday, the 19th of August, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in its lovely location on the Square in downtown Bloomsburg (going up Market Street from Main Street); this location has great visibility and feels open, friendly, and welcoming; we had at least 3000 attendees in 2022.As always, ArtFest will showcase about 50 regional artists’ original work, accompanied by local food, live music, and activities for people of all ages. It happens on the last move-in weekend for Bloomsburg University, when we welcome students and the students’ parents and everyone else to our town. A summertime art party, ArtFest draws families from Bloomsburg and well beyond, and both art and food vendors do well here year after year. As always, we give preference to returning vendors, but we also always have room for new ones.In 2023, each artist will pay $90 booth fee for a 10x10 space. (Two artists, each juried in, may share a single booth for $110.) Food vendors will pay $100, for a standard parking space, about 20x10. The fee covers the cost of ads in local and regional print and radio outlets, the printing of posters and flyers, and amenities for customers (tables, chairs, and portapotties). ArtFest is supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; we use that funding to pay our musicians.For more information, visit ExchangeArts.org/artfest. ...
