See You At the Fair - Art Show -

The Juniata County Fair Art Show will begin accepting art and photography entries on Thursday, Sept. 3rd. 3-8:00pm. Judging is Sept 4, 7:30pm.

With the uncertainty of state funding, premiums may be cut or reduced this year. Thankfully our Juniata Cultural Arts Committee plans to award the monetary difference lost by state funding, up to 50 percent of the premium amount listed in the fair book! We will give these amounts to award recipients in Department 19, Sections 1A and 1B. To enter artwork or photography in the Juniata County Fair Art Show, go to www.juniatacountyfair.com.

This year, I'm happy to say, three local businesses will be contacted to purchase artwork for sale at the fair!
Let's have a great turn out of artists.
See you at the fair!

Come on out, ya'll!

Hello! This is our first ever blog for the Juniata Cultural Arts Committee...BUT NOT THE LAST! Currently our website is www.juniataculturalarts.com but we will probably need to change that in the near future. A blog seems to be an easier way for everyone to communicate for right now, so blog it shall be!
We meet at 6:30pm the first Monday of every month in the community room at the Juniata County Library. There is no membership fee, anyone in the community is more than welcome to come and see what we're all about. We would love input on how we can bring the arts and promote local artists in the Juniata County area.
We may be rural, but our minds are as open as our green fields. If you have any questions regarding the committee, please feel free to contact the Juniata Library at 436-6378 and ask for Tessa, or email tessabobessa@gmail.com.
Hope to see you soon!
