Grapevine location for the Premier August 4th show of Art-Hunger

Art-Hunger

Art-Hunger is the newest organization formed for both emerging and established artists who have the desire to show their artwork, sell, socialize, learn, share, network, practice their skills and gain more exposure.

Home base for Art-Hunger will be centrally located between Fort Worth and Dallas in Grapevine to try and bring all the talented DFW area artists together.  Art-Hunger will be hosting a once a month art show in Grapevine along with other shows both juried and invitationals.   The once a month shows are specifically made for all artists no matter the medium of choice you use.  We welcome all painters, sculptors, jewelers, ceramicists, weavers, glass blowers, shirt and textile artists, graphic artists, illustrators and more!  The venue(s) used will be indoors.  No worries about heat, cold, rain, wind or even lighting at night.  The facility will have air conditioning, heat, above lighting and electrical outlets!  The best part is: It's first come first serve every month as soon as the sign up page is posted!  No getting the boot because other artists who "know" someone, artists that you think may be more experienced or technical than you or any other reason..  Plain and simple, you sign up first, you get the spot!  The show will be one day/night only.  Registering will only be $30.00 per artist which will get you a 10'x10' space.  Show as much as you like, show as little as you like.  There will be a limited amount of tables and display easel's for rent if you don't have your own.  

Be sure to check back daily or weekly for new information on shows and events, as well as signing up for our mailing/emailing list and joining our facebook where we will post photos from every event as well as discount links.  Whether you're an artist with the hunger to step-up your art game or a collector looking for the next big artist, join the team, this is going to be BIG!
