March 9 marks the deadline to submit an application to be considered for the Cedar City Summer Arts Festival, “Celebrating the Artistry in All Things Handmade.”

Held June 28-29 in conjunction with the ever-popular Groovefest American Music Festival, this is one of Cedar City’s most colorful and ambitious festivals. With a humble start in 2002 as an outdoor concert with a couple hundred attendees, Groovefest has skyrocketed, and Cedar City witnessed the largest Groovefest crowds ever in 2012 with more than 50,000 estimated for the four-day happening.

The Cedar City Arts Festival takes great pride in its artists and their work. To participate, artists must submit an application to be juried by a selection panel that looks for distinctive concept, excellent workmanship, appropriate presentation and medium. All categories are limited to provide each artist with an audience and to give patrons to the festival a varied and unparalleled experience. Artists are chosen based solely on their submitted application photographs and complete application. Photos which vividly depict the artist's work are crucial. Booth spaces are 10 feet by 10 feet.

The Cedar City Arts Festival is produced by the Cedar City Arts Council, which supports artists in folk, literary, visual and performing arts in Cedar City and the surrounding area. To become a member or download an application, visit www.cedarcityartscouncil.org/festival. Questions can be directed to Artist Coordinator Sandi Levy at (435) 531-3089, or via e-mail at artsfestival@cedarcityartscouncil.org.
