Council on Greenways and Trails, in coordination with the Penn Soil RC&D Council, is accepting artist registrations for the seventh annual Nature Art Showcase & Sale, scheduled to take place February 3 and 4 at the Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin. Artists may register one or two pieces representing the natural and recreational assets of northwestern Pennsylvania, including 2-D and 3-D items such as paintings, sculptures, metal fabrications, fabric arts, jewelry, wearable art, photography, pottery, drawings, wood carving and watercolor. The registration form is available online at www.nwpagreenways.org/. |
Artist registration is free and those who sign up by January 18 are eligible for inclusion in the annual printed booklet. Later entries will be accepted, but will not be included in the booklet. Artists will receive 85% of the price of any items sold. The other 15% will be donated to the Council on Greenways and Trails and the Penn Soil RC&D Council. Artists can determine if the pieces are for sale or display only.
The show and sale will be held in connection with the annual Franklin on Ice festival. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, February 3. The main show will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, February 4. Admission to both is free. Attendees will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece to be named the People's Choice winner.
