Jazz and Art festival issues call for artists

The annual Sunset Jazz and Art Festival, sponsored by the Grand Rapids Arts Council, is planned for Sunday, August 13, from 2 p.m. until sunset.

It will be held along the towpath of the Maumee River in Grand Rapids.

The event features jazz performances, a juried art show and sale, food and beverages.

Rain date is the next Sunday, August 20.

Visual artists who would like to participate can submit three photos displaying closeups of their work by July 10. Work must be original and hand-produced by the entrant.

Artists will be selected by a panel of judges consisting of art educators and members of the Grand Rapids community.

Due to space restrictions, there will be a limited number of participants.

Each artist will be provided a 10’x10’ space, and must furnish their own tables, chairs, display materials and tents.

Fee is $50 per booth. For an application, call 419-2061512 or visit grandrapids artscouncil.org.
