The Peggy R. McConnell Arts Center is hosting an Emerging Artist section on the front lawn of the facility during the Worthington Art Festival from June 20- 21, 2015. This program is implemented to promote Ohio artists -either students or those within the first three years of their career- who have little or no selling or exhibiting experience in festivals. 

All applicants must submit a complete application packet, which includes three (3) images of the artist's work and one (1) image of his/ her exhibit, a brief biography of the artist and a description of his/her artwork. Artwork must be the original creation of the entering artist and exemplify characteristics of fine arts or fine crafts. While tents are encouraged, they are not required.

Applications are due by April 15, 2015.

 Interested artists are asked to apply early, as booth fee checks are not cashed until accepted.

Acceptance notifications will be sent out on May 1, 2015.
