The 2012 Des Moines Arts Festival® is now accepting submissions for student artists to participate in the Nurturing a Student’s Vision: Celebrating Artists K-12 student art exhibition (NSV) on-site at the Festival on June 22-24, 2012, in downtown Des Moines’ Western Gateway Park! Sponsored by Hubbell Homes, Des Moines Art Center and Des Moines Arts Festival® this program spotlights the creativity of central Iowa’s youngest artists!
Art teachers from eligible schools in the Heartland area may select artwork from up to four students to submit for the exhibition. These selected pieces from students in grades K-12 will be showcased for all to see at the NSV display throughout the three-day Festival weekend. The artistic achievements of these participating students will also be celebrated at the Visionary Artist Ceremony on June 23 at 11:00 a.m. at the Festival. Each student will receive a Certificate of Appreciation along with a Des Moines Art Center Student Membership presented by Rick Tollakson, Hubbell Homes President and CEO.
In addition to the exhibition, a jury will choose artwork from five of the participating students to be made into banners that accompany the exhibit on-site at the Festival. Following the Festival, these banners are displayed at the Des Moines Art Center. The entire exhibition will be showcased at downtown Des Moines’ Central Library for six weeks following the Festival.
Art teachers who are interested in participating in the NSV program should visit http://desmoinesartsfestival.org/student_artists.php for all submission forms and guidelines. Letters of intent are due to the Festival by March 16, 2012, to confirm participation.
