Local Artists
Wanted for First Friday Event
Main Street Greenville’s First Friday event will once again feature the
Artisan Stroll! The goal of this event is to create a temporary
“gallery” throughout our historic downtown district as well as curate
interactive experiences to foster community involvement and support of
the arts. The event will take place on Friday, August 3rd from 6:00 -
9:00 pm in the downtown district.
The committee is looking for artisans and crafters to display,
demonstrate, and sell their work at this interactive event designed to
promote the local art community.
All local artists and talented creative individuals are invited to sell
and/or demonstrate their craft. The artists will join many downtown
businesses who will be staying open late and other activities that will
be planned for the event.
Main Street Greenville is also pleased to announce the incorporation of
a brand new art contest to the Artisan Stroll! This juried contest is
open to all accepted participants of the Artisan Stroll, although
participation in the contest is not a requirement to display your work
at the Artisan Stroll.
The theme of the contest is “Shades of Summer.” Artists are encouraged
to submit pieces which celebrate the variety of hues, intense
saturations, and unique light quality that the summer season brings.
Pieces of all mediums will be accepted for participation in the contest
and artists will have a chance to win cash prizes of up to $200! The
art contest has been generously sponsored by the Rotary Club of
Greenville, Ohio.
The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others,
promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace
through its fellowship of business, professional, and community
leaders. The Greenville Ohio Rotary Club meets every Tuesday afternoon
for lunch from 12:00- 1:00 PM in the Community Center at BRC's Chestnut
Village.
Registration to showcase and sell your items is $20.00 per space, which
is a donation to Main Street Greenville (a non-profit organization).
The deadline to sign-up is July 20th, 2018. The vendor application can
be found on Main Street Greenville’s website at
