Visual artists of all types are being sought for the Ninth Annual Millstock Music & Arts Faire from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on June 6 in downtown Clayton, NC. In addition to visual artists, Millstock will feature several bands, including reknowned blues guitarist, Cool John Ferguson.
Artists working in paint, graphics, printmaking & drawing, sculpture, ceramics, glass, fiber, jewelry, woodwork, photography, mixed media, & other categories are encouraged to participate. All works must be of original design, and executed by the exhibiting artist or artisan. Last year’s Millstock had its best art showing to date, according to event chair Gina Moreland. “Artists were allowed to display fine arts and fine crafts only and, because of this requirement, we saw a tremendous improvement in the quality of artwork being displayed.”
All artists wishing to have a booth at the 9th Annual Millstock Music & Arts Faire can contact Clayton Visual Arts by e-mailing claytonvisualarts@rocketmail.com or by calling Ms. Moreland at 320-8287. The booth fee is $35 and the deadline to register is May 27, 2009.
Registration forms
Artists will be situated along South Lombard and parts of E Main Street and the music will be staged behind the Coffee Mill and Flipside Restaurant on E Second Street. Downtown businesses and restaurants will be open and on the sidewalks creating an even more festive day.
