We are accepting applications for our 60th Annual Art in the Park Festivals scheduled August 14 & 15 and October 9 & 10. The Chaffee Art Center invites you to apply to our 60th Annual Summer and Fall Art in the Park Festivals featuring fine artists and craft persons, Vermont vineyards/breweries/distilleries, specialty foods, food concessions, kid’s activities, and musical entertainment. Shows will be held rain (snow)or shine in Main Street Park at Junction of Routes 4 & 7 in Rutland, Vermont. Estimated attendance 6000+. Shows draw attendees from Vermont and adjacent states plus tourists who travel to/through Vermont. Exhibitors consistently report good sales and a high degree of satisfaction with the events.
The Chaffee Art Center is proud to again showcase young artists from dozens of Vermont schools and homeschoolers for this Annual Student Exhibit. We take great pleasure in creating an opportunity for these talented young people to be inspired by seeing their artwork, and the works of others, displayed in our professional gallery housed in an historic 1890’s mansion. This year’s theme, Expressions of Me, encourages students to create works that reflect themselves…how they feel, how they see things… Entries in all of the arts are encouraged (art medium, theater, culinary, poetry, music, literature and more). Only works by students in pre-school and grades K – 12 are eligible for this show. Vermont public, private, and home school groups are all invited to participate. Delivery of work to Chaffee on April 15, 16, 17.
