CALL FOR ARTISTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Calling All Artists: Apply Now for Art Within Reach's Holiday Show in Collingswood
Art Within Reach is now accepting artist applications for its Holiday
2015 show at The Factory in Collingswood on Dec. 11-12. Slots are
open for 30 artists.
Applications are due by Friday, Aug. 28, and acceptance letters will
be sent out on Sept. 11. Artist fees are $125, and are due Friday, Sept. 25.
For more on how to apply, click here.
All work must be handmade by the artist. No assembled kits, resale,
or other third-party representation.
Each space is to showcase a single artist. Artist teams are
considered only if the works presented are collaborative
pieces or a cohesive collection, not simply an assembly
of multiple individuals’ separate works.
Artist spaces are 10 feet in length and 3 feet in depth.
This is an all-indoor, all-weather event.
Art Within Reach has teamed with The Factory to show in their space,
a repurposed 1920s neoclassical movie theater transformed into
a wood and metal-working maker space and business incubator
studios.
Art is interspersed among the heavy machinery throughout the
shop floor for a funky and unique atmosphere and shopping experience.

Adding to the excitement of the festivities revolving around southern Utah’s first George
Streetfest on Main in downtown St.
George this Friday, June 5, is the announcement of the Richens Eye Center Supporting Artists
with Vision Scholarship.
For budding artists and entertainers interested in showcasing and selling their work, the
scholarship will provide promotional space on Main Street for artists. A scholarship
vendor booth will be located in the Little SoHo area of Main Street every first Friday
from June to November, accommodating up to two artists each month.
“We feel it is important to support the artists of our community,” said Dr. Sharon
Richens of the Richens Eye Center. “Here in southern Utah, we have many vibrant artists
that represent the best of who we are and those who provide a significant contribution
to our culture and community. We are both honored and thrilled to have the opportunity
to support artists in sharing their vision at George Streetfest on Main.”
The Supporting Artists with Vision scholarship provides a tent and table and covers
the George Streetfest participation fee for up to two artists each month. Artists
and performers interested in applying for this scholarship should complete a vendor
application at www.stgeorgedowntown.com, noting application for the Supporting Artists
with Vision Scholarship. Artists may only qualify once for the space.
On the first Friday of every month, from 6 to 10 p.m., St. George Main Street will
close between Tabernacle and St. George Boulevard for the purpose of celebration.
George Streetfest on Main is designed to increase downtown economy, build a rich
sense of community in the heart of St. George City, and to provide a clean and
safe nightlife entertainment option for local residents and tourists. The event
features a signature street concert, street market, buskers, outdoor Jazz Garden
at Ancestor Square, and a community engagement Passport to the City program.
