You've got to love it when an art festival holds a press conference/special event/party to announce and show off the artists who have been selected to exhibit at their event. Congrats, Des Moines Arts Festival!
175 invitations were sent to artists across the nation.
- 10 of these professional artists were award winners from last year's event and received an automatic invitation
- The Festival extended invitations to artists that represent 37 states and Canada
- 43% of these artists are new to the Festival in 2016
- The final 175 invitations came from a pool of 952 applicants
See the entire list here at their very fine website: http://desmoinesartsfestival.org/visual-arts/ (I'm seeing some good friends on the list!!)
Great web design, great promotion, great job. Thank you, Stephen King and the team at the Des Moines Art Festival.
