The work of young student artists is coming to the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts. The Cottonwood Art Festival’s Emerging Artists installation will be on exhibit from March 30-April 24, 2022. Combining arts and education, the Emerging Artist program was created to recognize the talent of young local artists and to offer them the prospect of being a part of an international award-winning fine art festival. By being accepted into the program, visual art students have the privilege of displaying their work at the Charles W. Eisemann Center during the month of April and the rare and maybe first opportunity of selling their work, alongside Cottonwood’s slate of professional and renowned artists. The knowledge they receive from this experience is invaluable and is a respectable introduction to a career in art.
Now in its nineteenth year, the program is an innovative and resourceful opportunity that mentors students in the art world. Students are encouraged to express themselves artistically and learn the process of exhibiting. The uniqueness of Cottonwood Art Festival’s Emerging Artists program is that it is only available to senior high school art students. Interested students are required to develop an art concept, an artist statement and produce images of their work. Their work in total is submitted to their teacher for review and then sent in for jury to the Cottonwood Art Festival, taking place May7-8 at Cottonwood Park in Richardson, TX.
Please forward and share this newsletter to anyone interested in the arts.
