Applications Still Available for Amdur Productions’ 2013 Art Festivals

Amdur Productions, a nationally acclaimed art festival production company, proudly launches its 30th year with its annual “call for artists.” For three decades, Amdur Productions has organized many of Midwest’s most prestigious and successful juried art festivals, including the nationally recognized Port Clinton Art Festival. In 2012, Amdur Productions expanded its geographic footprint beyond the Chicagoland area by launching new festivals in New Buffalo, Michigan; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Hallandale Beach, Florida.

“The success of our shows is dependent upon the caliber of artists who participate in each of them,” says Amy Amdur, President and Founder of her namesake firm. “We are always happy to see artists return year after year and welcome those who apply for the first time.”

Amdur Productions is extending the deadline for artists to apply online for the summer’s exciting line-up of festivals. Artists can visit www.amdurproductions.com and click “APPLY NOW,” then follow the prompts to submit their work electronically. Artists should submit four images of their work and one photo of their booth. Late applications will be accepted through January 18 for an additional processing fee for consideration in this season’s extraordinary line up. After jury review, artists will be notified of their status online February 15, 2013.
