Leesburg's Fall Into the Arts Show

Here is more show news from the Northern VA area. I've never participated in this show, so I have no idea if it is a pain or good for sales or what.


The sixth annual 'FALL INTO THE ARTS' Festival in downtown historic Leesburg invites artists to submit their work. The 2008 Arts Festival will feature art and music entertainment as well as special exhibits on the Town Green and throughout the downtown shops.

Festival Date
Saturday, September 27 from 11AM to 5PM. Live music and entertainment offer a day of fun and art appreciation throughout the historic town of Leesburg.

How to Enter
Artists should complete the entry form and mail with photos/jpgs of up to 3 pieces of your original art, and a $25 fee to: Fall into the Arts, c/o Gallery 222 / Loudoun Academy of the Arts, 222 South King Street, Leesburg, Virginia 20175

Deadline
The deadline for photo submissions is Friday, August 30, 2008, and a panel of jurors will respond to all submissions by Monday, September 8.
