Buffalo Creek Gallery and Uptown Shelby Association invite you to participate in our 4th Annual “Arts on the Square,” in Historic Uptown Shelby, NC on April 24, 2010.  This one-day juried outside art show and sales event promotes fine arts and crafts by southern artists.  We continue to grow and draw artists and patrons from surrounding areas. This event is occurring in conjunction with the 13th Annual Foothills Merry-Go-Round Festival and our Trolley service will be transporting visitors between the events.  The day will provide participating artists with exposure to people who are interested in and supportive of the arts. Applications are taken on a first-come basis.  Each space is 10’ x 10’ to accommodate displays on the lawn of the square and is $60 each with electricity being an extra $15.  A discount of $5.00 is given to vendors applying before March 19th.    
* Help is available for setup and breakdown, if needed, also, let us know if you have any other special needs.  We will try our best to be accommodating. 

Artist’s booths will be open from 9am - 4pm.  On the site demonstrations are welcome and encouraged.  Extra space, if needed, will be provided at no additional charge for demos.  Please indicate on the application.

Prizes and awards will be given for excellence in work and booth display.

It is sure to be a great day of fun for artists and art connoisseurs alike from the residents of western NC, Charlotte and beyond.  It is our mission to promote artists and the growth of the arts in our portion of the state.   We hope you are interested in being a vital part of that growth and will allow us to feature your artwork at our event.
