CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield Revitalization Corp. (CRC), in collaboration with Liddle Gallery, will host the second Clearfield ART (Art on the River Today) Festival.
The event is one of the newer downtown events and is held to promote the art community within Clearfield County and surrounding areas.
The festival will take place from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Aug. 20 in downtown Clearfield. It will be along Market Street between Front and Second streets located in the scenic Pennsylvania Wilds.
The Clearfield ART festival will encompass the visual arts: drawing, painting and sculpting; performance arts: music, dance and theater; and media arts: photography, film-making and literature.
“The purpose is to provide a venue for artists and artisans to display and sell their work, showcase talent and perform,” stated CRC Main Street Manager Loretta Wagner.
“Fine artists and artisans, musicians, performance artists, actors, etc., are invited from Clearfield County and the surrounding regions to participate in this ART festival in downtown Clearfield.”
Application and materials are located on Facebook at Clearfield Art on the River Today or by e-mail at clearfieldartontherivertoday@gmail.com. Deadline to apply is July 29; the booth fee is $25, if accepted.
Wagner stated, “The community loves our CRC Bloom & Berry Bash and Fall Festival, and we wanted to offer something similar but fitting for the art community.
“Keeping a festival downtown along the street opens the opportunity for our businesses to participate, and it holds onto that concept of bringing people to downtown for shopping and activities.
“We want to bring as much value as we can to our merchants while engaging the community as much as possible. Stay tuned for more information to be released closer to the event as to the schedule of venues that will be a part of this day.”
