Event Description

 

Please read all information before applying to ArtScape 2023-2024

 ArtScape Hendersonville is an annually changing, outdoor public-arts project that enriches the appeal of Hendersonville. Thirty banners displaying the original artwork of Henderson County artists are hung on Main Street, and the downtown avenues

 ArtScape’s corridor of colorful, waving banners brightens and enlivens Hendersonville’s historic downtown area and creates a unique outdoor art gallery for tourists and locals. The ongoing support of this annual display confirms Hendersonville’s commitment to art, creativity, and culture. They demonstrate tangibly the strong connection between the arts, local businesses, organizations, and individual art lovers.   

ArtScape Hendersonville was founded in 2017 and is a program of the Art League of Henderson County.

  • When selecting entries, artists should consider:

    • Banner-display area is square—about 24” X 24”.

    • Banners are displayed up high on a light pole. Thus, vibrant, high-contrast entries might be most appealing.

  • All submitted artwork must be available for sale and priced accordingly.

Brochure Information: 

  • The ArtScape committee produces a brochure promoting ArtScape.

  • Each artist will have two lines of copy in the ArtScape brochure. 

  • The first line is the artist’s name, as the artist wants it to appear in the brochure.

  • The second line is the artist’s contact information—a TOTAL of 42 characters to be used for (pick one), email, or address, or phone number, as artist wants them to appear in the brochure.

  • Please print and spell carefully and count characters to insure information is included accurately in the brochure. (Form will be provided to selected artists.)
