You are invited to apply to the 50th Annual Fourth Street Festival of the Arts and Fine Crafts in Bloomington, Indiana. The site of the festival, Fourth Street from Lincoln Street to Indiana Avenue, is a pleasant tree-lined area close to both the Indiana University campus and downtown Bloomington.
Over the years the festival has steadily increased in popularity and quality of works, drawing a crowd of 35,000 - 45,000 art-savvy patrons over the two-day period.
Fifty years ago a group of area artists and craftspeople created the Fourth Street Festival as a rigorously juried art event that would be mutually beneficial to the exhibitors and the community. This show is truly run by artists, for artists. Submissions are juried on-line by an independent peer jury.
