Cottonwood Art Festival proudly introduces its Emerging
Artists for 2008! This program is an innovative and
resourceful tool that mentors students in the art world.
Students are encouraged to express themselves artistically
and learn the process of exhibiting. The uniqueness of
Cottonwood Art Festival’s Emerging Artists program is that
it is only available to high school and college art
students. Interested students are required to develop an
art concept, an artist statement and produce slides of their
work.
This package was submitted to their teacher for review and
then sent in for jury to Cottonwood Art Festival. This
spring, selected Emerging Artists are displaying their works
in the Forrest & Virginia Green Mezzanine-Gallery at the
Eisemann Center through the month of April. Cottonwood is
proud to announce the following Emerging Artists:
