Please note the September 10 deadline. Hurry all artists if you wish to be considered.

Last year (our 20th) was our most successful ever and we had really good art sales - especially given the crappy economy.

We're expecting this year to be even better.

21st Annual Cathedral Arts Festival ? CALL FOR ART The Cathedral Arts Festival, the largest and longest-running celebration of artists and the arts in Hudson County, proudly enters its third decade in 2010. For twenty years, the loyalty and creative gifts of our ever-growing pool of submitting artists, and the dedication and hard work of tireless and passionate art supporters, both behind the scenes and in the crowds, have helped to make Cathedral Arts Festival a treasured cultural institution in the county and a crown jewel in the cultural fabric that is historic, downtown Jersey City. To miss it only brings a full year of regrets. Our gallery venue is, itself, a work of art. The beautiful, 157-year-old sanctuary of Jersey City?s beloved Grace Church Van Vorst is the permanent home for this annual exhibition and festival. Our traditional champagne gala will officially open the visual art gallery on Saturday, November 13th and will remain open throughout the fall holiday season. The festival will end with the closing of the gallery on Friday, December 3rd. We now reach out to our local art community and beyond to find the artists and work that will be CAF 21, and continue a two-decade tradition of creative excellence. Artwork in all media and encompassing all subject matter will be considered, including but not limited to painting, drawing, textiles, sculpture and photography. All work is for sale with 60% of the sale going to the exhibiting artist and 40% to Grace Church Van Vorst. As you consider your body of work, and what you?d like to contribute to the show, the curatorial team asks that all submissions be new to CAF and our gallery space, not recently exhibited locally, physically available to CAF from drop-off weekend through the close of the festival, and reasonably priced so that visitors to the gallery might be encouraged and able to purchase original art of exceptional quality. Please submit up to six JPEGS (preferred) or prints of your work. JPEGs/prints should be of good quality, true to color, and named so as to be easily identifiable to the artist and for content. Please submit JPEGs that are 72 dpi. For each submission please clearly note/provide the following: ? Artist name and contact information (address, phone(s) and email) ? Title of Work ? Medium of Artwork ? Dimensions (height x width x length) ? Price ? One-Page resume We encourage all artists who can to submit work via email by forwarding all materials and info to: caf-art@gracevanvorst.org. You may, however, mail your submission or drop it off at the church. All submissions, however, must be received on or before September 10th to be considered. If you choose to submit by mail, send all information to Grace Church Van Vorst, Attention: CAF 21 Artwork Submissions. Decisions regarding accepted work are expected in mid October. Accepted artwork must be delivered (ready to install; hardware included) to Grace Church Van Vorst on Friday, October 29th from 6pm-9pm or on Saturday, October 30th from 9am to 11am.
