Ohio State Fair Arts Information

Greetings from the Ohio State Fair Arts!  I wanted to share with you all the arts opportunities we are offering Ohio youth this year and hope you will encourage your groups/members to enter. 2016 information can be found online at www.ohiostatefair.com for the Youth Arts Exhibition and competition information for Creative Arts (Culinary and Handcrafted).  The Youth Arts Exhibition is open to Ohio youth in grades 1-12 and the Creative Arts competitions are open to youth ages 11 and up unless noted on the competition page.  Information and entry information can be found at the following links and deadline to enter is June 20, 2016.  All entries and artwork images (if required) are accepted online.

The Youth Arts Exhibition is a juried exhibition whereby jurors pre-select the work to be included in the exhibition.  The number of pieces accepted into the exhibition varies but on average is around 250-300 pieces.  Selected works are then eligible for awards which jurors select on site.  All Creative Arts competition entries, however, are accepted, judged and displayed.  This year Creative and Youth Arts will be featured in the new Cardinal Hall building!

Thank you for sharing the Ohio State Fair arts opportunities with your youth groups.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to seeing you at the Fair!

 

Best,

Sandy Libertini
