TWESTSYLVANIA ARTS FESTIVAL OPEN ARTS SHOW
The inaugural Westsylvania Arts Festival will include an exciting new exhibit opportunity—the Westsylvania Arts Festival Open Arts Show!
The show is open to all artists and artisans. Entry is not juried. However, it will be judged for cash and merit awards, including purchase awards. The show will be held as a pop-up event at two top Indiana art galleries—The Fox Clark Gallery and The Artists Hand Gallery—over the festival weekend. Anyone may enter up to five pieces for only $25. With exposure to approximately 1,500 potential buyers during the weekend festivities, this is an excellent opportunity for artists to show and possibly sell their work. Even better, any sales are commission free—all proceeds go to the artist!
The Westsylvania Arts Festival is happening in conjunction with the well-established Delaney Chevrolet Westsylvania Jazz & Blues Festival. The music festival attracts at least 1,500 people to downtown Indiana for the event, providing top quality performances by local, national and internationally known musicians. It’s a big deal! These companion art and music festivals are being held jointly under the auspices of the Indiana Arts Council.
Together, they are being billed as Westsylvania Weekend—“the kickoff to summer’s fun!” Dates of the Westsylvania Arts Festival Open Arts Show are Thursday, May 22nd—Saturday, May 24th, 2025.
Take advantage of this opportunity to show your best work to a festival crowd, maybe win an award, maybe even sell some artwork commission free! And it’ll only cost you $25 to enter up to five pieces. It doesn’t get any better than this!
