Our art show is the inspiration part of the Fair! For the past three years we have exhibited the work of many hands. Our Fine Fiber & Folk Exhibit is an integral part of the Fair and work is seen by the thousands who attend. We invite artists in the exhibit to offer their work for sale, although that is not required.

Congratulations to 2009 Awardees! (See right)

The Fine Fiber & Folk Art Show is open to:

  • Artists who are 18 years of age or older
  • Work is limited to 7 ft in any dimension (some weight restrictions may apply - if your work is extraordinarily heavy, please
    contact us)
  • No work which was accepted at last year's show may be submitted. No work made with commercial kits, molds, patterns, plans, stencils, or prefabricated forms, studio production work, or manufactured work will be accepted. When it is necessary to use commercially produced materials to complete the work, the manufactured components must be subordinate to the original artistic interpretation and technique of the finished product. (See Artist Prospectus for full details )
  • Deadline is May 30, 2010
  • The jury fee is $25 for up to three works (see instructions below).
  • IF ACCEPTED into the show, you may offer your work for sale (not required) and/or send cards, flyers, to put out for the public.
