Columbia call for Artists - Tour of Homes

Call For Artists
The Historic Elmwood Park Neighborhood Association will celebrate its 28th Tour of Homes & Gardens on Saturday, April 18th, 2009. As part of the festivities, Elmwood Park will highlight the arts through display, demonstration and interactive artistic events. Artists will have the opportunity to display their work in historic homes, on shaded porches, or in the neighborhood park while thousands of people experience the tour. Artists will display their work, sell their work, and create work on-site as they desire.

There are no exhibit fees or sales commissions associated with exhibiting at the Elmwood Park Tour of Homes Art Exhibit. Painters, sculptors, textile artists, photographers, jewelry makers, and any other form of the arts are welcome. Don’t miss this opportunity to showcase your work at one of Columbia’s most unique, emerging arts venues.

If you are interested in showcasing your work in this setting, please contact Mark Brown at 733-1620, or via email at mbrown63@sc.rr.com, by Friday, March 6th, 2009. Space is limited so you will be requested to send digital photographs of at least three examples of your work for a jury selection process. Upon selection, all artists will be notified and a coordination meeting set up between homeowner host and artist. Thanks in advance for your consideration
