Exhibiting Artists Announced for 2009 Third Annual Art in the Wilds
April 20, 2009 - Exhibiting artists have been announced for the third annual Art in the Wilds, an outdoor juried fine arts show to be held June 27-28, 2009 in Kane, Pennsylvania.
The Art in the Wilds show is one of the only juried art shows ever produced in McKean County. To be accepted as a vendor in a juried art show, artists must submit works for scoring to a confidential jury of art experts. Juried art shows therefore offer a very high quality of original art, among a diverse variety of media. Art in the Wilds offered art for sale ranging from acrylics and oils, to watercolors, drawing/pastels, metal, glass, clay/porcelain, photography, fabric/fiber, wood, leather and jewelry.
