September 22
Reinbeck, Iowa
Reinbeck Art Festival
Downtown
9am - 5pm
Presented by Reinbeck Community Development Board
Number of exhibitors: 20-40
Deadline: July 3, 2012 - extended, call for details

For years, locals have noted how many artists seem to live in and around Reinbeck, a northeast Iowa community close to Waterloo and Cedar Falls. As an outgrowth of community development, the idea of an art festival was envisioned, grants obtained, and now we are proud to present the first annual Reinbeck Art Festival-"Art Without Walls." Artists will find a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and an audience that supports the arts.

It is a high quality juried show by three jurors: an art professor, an arts professional, and a community member. The location is Downtown Main Street,  near a small park that will host the musicians.  Children's Activities will provide a fun and creative perk for kids. Artists and Festival-goers alike will be able to take advantage of the specials offered by local businesses surrounding the area, including the Broad Street Brewing Company, a new microbrewery.

Our media package includes a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/ReinbeckArtFestival. We will be showing Artist Spotlights and Featured Businesses to check out closer to the festival. The event will be listed in too many online and print publication calendars to mention, as well as radio.

Artist Exhibitors won't go hungry with complimentary snacks provided, and booth sitters will be on hand to cover any breaks needed.

We are interested in a variety of media, including but not limited to ceramics, book arts, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, watercolor, and wood.
