Dear Friends,
 
The Society of Range Management is hosting an annual conference in 2023 and are looking for artist vendors who come from a folk background with an interest in the land They are looking to reach out to artisans whom might be interested in having a booth at the Trade Show, and are hoping you can help them find the right artists to ask. 
 
If you know an artist who might be interested and whose work would be a good fit for our meeting attendees, please reach out to Anna Owsiak (208-705-9118; anna.owsiak@idfg.idaho.gov) with their contact information and a quick word about their medium.  They are hoping to have a good mix of different types of art, and would love to see Idaho artists who work in leather, fiber, wood, metal, glass, as well as the various fine art mediums.  This will be an international crowd with a special interest in folk art and landscapes.
 
Trade Show dates are Feb 12-14, and a 10x10 booth is $100 for all three days.
 
Thanks for your help and happy holidays!

YOUNG AT ART: CREATIVE WORK BY YOUNGSTERS & BEGINNERS OF ALL AGES.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”

- Picasso

To be “young at art” is to embrace the fact that we’re all beginners at something. It’s about celebrating childlike wonder and creativity. Anyone and everyone can submit something to this show, regardless of skill level or age.

Acceptable mediums include: 2D visual art (painting, drawing, etc.), 3D artwork (textiles, sculpture, non-permanent installations, etc.), creative writing, photography, short film, choreography, music, theater, spoken word.

All entries must fit into the “Young At Art” theme, Here’s some ideas to get you started:

KIDS & YOUTH UNDER AGE 18

  • Show us something you made that you’re proud of! YOU choose your subject, style, and medium!

ADULTS

  • Submit your creative work in a subject, medium, or style that you’re new at or still learning (AKA, you’re “young at”).
  • Collaborate on a project with a few youngsters you know.
  • Create art about childlike creativity, wonder, or what it was like to be a kid.

Performance Entry Deadline: February 20
