June 22
Sparta, North Carolina
Presented By: Alleghany Arts Council
50 Artists
Deadline: May 15
Application Fee: $15 Booth Fee: $50
In an effort to continually expand our festival, the Alleghany Arts Council is including a juried art show as an integral part of the Backwoods Beat Festival (BBF). This is the inaugural event and we hope you'll give us a try.
Our intention is to create a high-quality art show, with an emphasis on quality not quantity of artists. It is the Alleghany Arts Councils goal is to promote art in our community and not to raise funds for the arts council. Realizing that this is a new addition to the BBF and that artist might be a little apprehensive about first time shows we have try to keep our fees as low as possible.
The show will be centrally located in the heart of Sparta, NC, a quaint, growing mountain town in Alleghany County, not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway. This event will be in close proximity to downtown restaurants, a brewery, coffee shops and music venues.
Backwoods Beat Festival is a weekend of music and arts in beautiful Sparta, North Carolina honoring and memorializing the late T.J. Worthington, a local artist, writer, and music supporter.
