the looff: East Providence Arts Festival Call for Artists

East Providence, RI, February 23, 2017- The East Providence Arts Council (EPAC) is gearing up for the Third Annual the looff: East Providence Arts Festival. The looff will take place on Saturday August 12, 2017 (rain date August 13) from 11AM-6PM at historic Crescent Park in Riverside, RI. Last year EPAC hosted over 100 artists, artisans and food vendors at the looff.
The submission period for artists and artisans will begin on March 1, 2017 and continue on a rolling basis until July 1, 2017. All artists must have their work juried. We are seeking fine artists who create paintings, ceramics, photography, sculpture, handmade jewelry, fiber and glass. Hand signed, high quality photo reproductions of original work will also be permitted upon review. Other categories may also be considered. EPAC is looking to showcase writers at this year’s festival. Local authors are also encouraged to apply. The link for submissions will be available on the EPAC website, www.eastprovidencearts.org. Questions regarding the submission process can be directed to Courtney Rook Repoza at epacsubmissions@gmail.com.
EPAC will continue the tradition of offering a limited number of spaces to Non-profit Community Groups. Priority will be placed on East Providence based groups, but all groups will be considered. The link for Community Partners will also be located on the looff page of the EPAC website.
EPAC has Sponsorship opportunities available for the event. The looff is a great way to promote your business to the community. Please contact EPAC for Sponsorship information at epartscouncil@gmail.com.
EPAC is really looking forward to making the Third Annual the looff: East Providence Arts Festival the best yet! Hope to see you there!
