Prairie Renaissance Cultural Alliance
MORRIS — The Prairie Renaissance Cultural Alliance (PRCA) in Morris is looking for artists to showcase their art and compete for $600 in cash prizes at the third annual Metal Arts Festival and metal art competition Sept. 7. The PRCA is also seeking art vendors to participate in the festival.
All art mediums are encouraged to enter the People’s Choice Metal Art Contest, as long as there is some metal component to the artwork. The PRCA is looking for mixed media, sculpture, welded artworks, used or “found” metal art, garden art, metal jewelry, three-dimensional art, fiber art, and more. All sizes are accepted.
The Metal Arts Contest is open to any artist, artisan or crafts person who incorporates any metal component into the artwork. Artists are asked to donate their contest piece for a live art auction at 2 p.m. to benefit the PRCA. Artist prizes are $300 for first place, $200 for second place, and $100 for third place. Winners will be determined by audience voting.
All artists are also encouraged to display and sell their artwork at the festival.
