with focus on local and regional artists, but as well has had Artist from New York, Florida, and the Upper Peninsula spotlighting their talent in the past. It is our goal to seek out well-known and also local artists to be featured, in online media, local news stations, art showings, and paper media.
This year we have all new goals, new areas, and new vendors throughout the event for all to learn about.
Those participating with artwork will help fund, selected artists with sales of their art produced live, (elevated by our publicity brought through touring their work) but also elevating their names with garnered press as we help raise awareness of their chosen medium to heighten popularity and demand for their work.
This year, artists will be chosen for future exposure in Local business and in municipal buildings for during important events.
This all brings new recognition for these great aspiring artists and helps bring public awareness to their work that increases the value and demand for their art.
Select winners will be chosen to help design future murals as part of new upcoming installations and future winners can participate in the annual mural to present their styles right on the walls in the "H.U.B." for the
"Heart of Oak" FEST - 2024
