Are you an artist? Are you interested in showcasing your work for the public during an upcoming community event? The Barton Arts Movement is partnering with the team that organizes the Final Fridays on Forest in downtown Great Bend to add a special art element called "Art Alley" on Friday, June 24th, 2022. Our goal is to create an extra attraction and to showcase all the amazing talent in our region to the hundreds of people who attend these Final Friday events. Visitors will get to vote on their favorite pieces, and the artist with the most votes will be receive a BAMMY People's Choice Award.

If you are interested in showcasing a 16x20" canvas during the "Art Alley" Showcase, simply fill out the form below and then email us a photo of your 16x20" artwork (bartonartsmovement@gmail.com) prior to June 15th, 2022. Only TWENTY (20) submissions will be selected to participate. Artists MUST live in Kansas to be considered.

Artists who are selected will be notified and their entries are then due to be submitted at the Golden Belt Community Foundation office (1307 Williams Street, Great Bend, KS) no later than June 20, 2022. Easels will be provided for artists to utilize if they need one. After the event, artists can either contribute their canvas to be displayed in an exhibition somewhere in Barton County, OR they can request to take the canvas back after the event is completed. There is also a chance that our top-voted artists may be asked to commission a mural in Barton County if they are interested and willing to do so. But that is not a requirement.

BAM is driven by volunteers and operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the Golden Belt Community Foundation, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization. Learn more about our work at www.BartonArtsMovement.com.

PLEASE NOTE! AFTER YOU SUBMIT THIS FORM, BE SURE TO EMAIL A PHOTO OF YOUR ENTRY TO USE FOR CONSIDERATION (uploads are not accepted as part of this Google form): bartonartsmovement@gmail.com. Entries without a photo will not be considered. Deadline for form submissions is June 15, 2022.
