Memorial Park <strong>2018</strong><br />
Bayou City Art Festival, produced by Art Colony Association, Inc. (ACA),<br />
is inviting artists from around the country to submit applications and<br />
have the opportunity to showcase their art at the nation’s premier spring<br />
outdoor fine art event Friday-Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 23-25, <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
ACA produces Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park in the spring and<br />
Bayou City Art Festival Downtown in the fall. Now entering its 47 th year,<br />
ACA has provided a venue for over 20,000 artists to showcase their<br />
work to thousands of art lovers from all over the world. Patrons have<br />
the opportunity to personally meet the artist, view original works and<br />
purchase world class art. The festival benefits local non-profits and<br />
features music, food, beverages, entertainment, a Children’s Creative<br />
Zone and much more for people of all ages to come and enjoy the city<br />
and the festival.<br />
Twice a year, over 1,000 qualified applicants from 19 different disciples<br />
submit their applications to be reviewed by the ACA jurors. For each<br />
festival, a new juror panel is invited and consists of artists, collectors<br />
and industry professionals. The panel of five to seven jurors are selected<br />
based on their specific interests, professional knowledge and background<br />
with the festival. Only 300 artists will be selected to exhibit at the <strong>2018</strong><br />
Bayou City Art Festival Memorial Park. Cash Prizes are awarded for “Best<br />
in Show,” second and third, as selected by on-site judges. Ribbons are<br />
awarded for “Best Booth” and all winners receive jury exempt status for<br />
two years as well as priority booth placement.<br />
Volunteer and sponsorship opportunities are available. For more<br />
