Call to Artists for Fall Events

Dear Artists, Please email heartlandartsnet@gmail.com or call 618 713 2896 and let us know which of the events below you'd be interested in participating in. Then, please forward this to your artist friends and groups!

We'll be in contact again soon with more information for those who respond. Please let us know as soon as possible.

These events are an opportunity for artists to get their work out in front of and sell to not only locals but also visitors in town for Homecoming and the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Art Around the Square, October 9, 5-9pm, Carbondale Town Square. This spring, 26 different businesses around the Carbondale Town Square participated in the event which featured work from more than 40 artists. Some businesses will be looking for artists to show work on their walls. Please plan on being present for the event if you want to show your work. Visit www.artaroundthesquare.com for more information about past events. Deadline for artist inclusion in printed materials is September 11th.

Colorfest Art Around the Trail, October 10-11, Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. Numerous wineries will display artwork as part of the "Colorfest" festivities of this busy fall weekend. Artists presence will not be required over the entire weekend but likely for a short 'reception' at some point during the weekend. Visit the HeartlandArts.Net Art Show webpage for more information about last year's event.

2nd Annual Shopping in the Hills, November 27-28, Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. Let's give shoppers a lovely alternative to the busy malls. At least 2 wineries will have art fair-type displays, while some other wineries will offer their wall space. Last year we had a jewelry-themed fair at Blue Sky and a home decor-themed fair at Von Jakob. This year we will mix it up and try to balance vendors at each venue. Please try to consider your buyers who will be looking for unique but affordable gifts for the people they care most about. The event has been on the Illinois Tourism site all year, and is being promoted state-wide in various online and print publications.
