68th Otero Arts Festival Visual Arts Call for Entries

LA JUNTA — The 68th annual Otero Arts Festival invites all artists grades 7-12 to participate in a juried art festival April 2-4 at the Student Center Rizzuto Banquet Room on the Otero College campus. Entries for the visual arts portion of the festival will be accepted on Friday, March 29 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Entries are free and open to all area students’ grades 7-12.

The Otero Arts Festival showcases visual arts, the creations that we can see. These art forms are very common and extremely diverse, from the artwork that hangs on your wall to the sculpture on a stand. The visual arts include mediums such as drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and printmaking. Many of these pieces of art are created to stimulate us through a visual experience.

All area students, grades 7-12, are encouraged to enter the Otero Arts Festival. Entries for the art contest will be accepted on Friday March 29th from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. at the Student Center Rizzuto Banquet room on the Otero College campus. Students may have one entry for each medium/technique with a maximum of six entries total per student. Entries be accompanied by the registration form and be labeled and hung per the guidelines that are posted on the Otero website at https://otero.edu/campus-community/events-registration/otero-arts-festival/.

The jurors will award over 600 ribbons for this annual arts festival to the anticipated entries from middle school and high school artists of southeastern Colorado. They also select the recipients of Best of Show High School and Middle School and Outstanding Senior Portfolio ribbons. Judging will take place on Saturday, March 30 with public viewing of the art show to begin on Tuesday April 2 at 8 a.m. The exhibit will remain open to the public April 2 - 4 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and then again from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. There is no cost for admission to the exhibit. The public is invited to visit the exhibit and view the outstanding work of the students.
