Art at the Entrance

Sacramento County Fair invites you to show off your talented art students at the 2011 County Fair, May 26 - 33.

We are inviting each high school art department to participate in the 9TH ANNUAL "ART AT THE ENTRANCE" show and hope to have all high schools represented.

An art judge will judge the murals and the following cash prizes will be awarded:

1st Place:  $200.00
2nd Place: $100.00
3rd Place:  $50.00

Murals will also be judged by "Peoples Choice" for an additional cash reward. Encourage all your students, faculty, and friends to vote for your mural. Remember, the more votes you generate, the better your chances of a win!

The Fair will provide a 4' x 8' primed plywood board on which your students will create a mural for display during the County Fair. The Fair will be responsible for delivering the blank boards in February and will pick up the completed board during the 2nd week in May.

The murals will be displayed lining the entrance to the Fair and remain on display until the Fair closes. This is an excellent opportunity for your students to show pride in their school.

Rules:

  • County Fair is a family event and content of mural must be in good taste.

  • Theme of the mural must follow the theme of the fair.

  • The mural must include the words "Sacramento County Fair", the name of your school and depict the Fair theme.

  • Use out-door paint or coat with varnish so the artwork will weather well in an outside display. (Contact me if you have any questions or concerns)

  • Artwork may be vertical or horizontal at the discretion of the artists.

  • Mural must be completed no later than May 21, 2010.

  • All murals will become the property of the Sacramento County Fair.

Please call or email now to order your art board.

The Sacramento County Fair reserves the right to refuse artwork, which it deems to be inappropriate for a family event.
