June 8, 9, 10
Downtown Omaha, Nebraska
135 Artists
Deadline: January 22
The 38th Annual Omaha Summer Arts Festival invites you to be a part of one of the most lively art festivals in the Midwest. Located in downtown Omaha alongside a beautiful park, the award-winning Summer Arts Festival draws a diverse crowd of 80,000 people for a weekend of unique visual arts, great music, tasty food and hands-on children's activities.
Festival patrons enjoy browsing and buying an eclectic mix of functional and non-functional pieces by 135 artists in 14 media categories. High-quality work in the $50 to $200 range tends to sell most frequently, but, of course, higher priced artwork does not go unnoticed (or un-purchased) by Omaha's fair share of art-lovers.
"This is an excellent, well-organized festival," one artist said. "I have my highest sales here and always encounter enthusiastic, loyal customers."
In addition to $2500 in cash awards, artists can expect hospitality and concierge services that are a step above the rest.
The Festival offers you:
- discounted hotel rates
- complimentary snacks and beverages
- an Artists' Awards Breakfast on Saturday and an Artists' Meeting on Sunday with continental breakfast
- an air-conditioned lounge with indoor restrooms
- booth sitters; water delivery; overnight, indoor storage
- 24-hour security
- electricity
Artists also reap the benefits of the festival's substantial marketing efforts and media coverage.
Artists say: [The Omaha Summer Arts Festival] is my favorite show to do; and [the] treatment of artists is the best! said one artist. Not many shows do anything for artists anymore-it is very important to us.
