DESTIN — The Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation is now accepting applications for the Adult Collaborative Art Exhibit component of the 21st annual Festival of the Arts at the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village in Destin.
One of the unique features of the Festival is the Collaborative Art Exhibit, which showcases the work of seasoned and emerging adult artists and local student artists competing for the $600 McIlroy Awards given in honor of the late Patricia McIlroy, Destin’s first First Lady and an MKAF advocate and patron.
Artwork should be of an artistic caliber associated with a juried fine art show. Artists in the Adult Collaborative Exhibit can display and/or sell up to three pieces of artwork.
The competition is open to the first 25 eligible applicants. The entry fee is $30 per person for up to three pieces of art. Application deadline is Thursday, Sept. 15. The festival is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 29 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 30 at the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village, 4323 Commons Drive W, Destin.
