Vail, CO, August 04, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Historic Downtown Frisco will once again host Main Street to the Rockies Art Festival this summer, August 13 – 14, 2011, on the heels of its successful July 4th Weekend Green art fair. This popular juried art show features the finest artists in the country as well as top talent from throughout the state of Colorado. Main Street in Frisco’s charming downtown will be closed to traffic transforming this quaint area into an outdoor art gallery with a wide variety of original works on display and for sale. Admission is free and open to the public.
The artistic media represented include paintings, life size sculptures, photography, glass, wood, jewelry, collage, and ceramics and showcases contemporary as well as southwest themed artwork. Prices are set to suit all budgets and range from $25 hand-designed earrings to $30,000 metal sculptures.
The artists, juried by an independent panel of expert judges, and hand-selected from hundreds of applicants based on quality and diversity, will be on site for the duration of the festival available to discuss their art and inspiration. All of the artwork is original and handmade in America. This art showcase brings together an eclectic mix of the nation’s most talented established artists as well new and emerging talent.
“This is an ideal opportunity to meet many different artists in one location,” says festival promoter Howard Alan. “The public can explore a vast array of original works of art and meet the actual artists who are enthusiastic about their work and truly enjoy discussing their creative process, this personal connection makes an investment more meaningful.”
Howard Alan Events, the country's largest producer of award winning fine outdoor art festivals, returns to Colorado each year at the behest of clients. Introduced to these upscale street fairs in Florida, many asked for this successful festival promoter to come to Colorado with the same high-end quality art by the finest artists in the nation. Now, the Howard Alan Events festivals in Colorado are highly anticipated and include the Downtown Aspen Art Festival, the Beaver Creek Art Festival, the Downtown Frisco Art Festival, the Boulder Festival of the Arts on 29th Street and this weekend’s 5th Annual Main Street to the Rockies Art Festival.
