The Stockbridge Area Arts Council (SAAC) is moving forward with its premier annual event, the upcoming A Day in the Village Art Show in June.
This year, a poster contest in advance of the event is being held in the 3rd and 4th grade art classes of Smith Elementary and Heritage School. The contest theme is “Celebrating Dads.” Images of the winner’s poster will be displayed prominently throughout the area in advance of the special weekend.
SAAC invites and encourages all artists to participate in the show, which will be held in the Stockbridge Township Hall on the town square in Stockbridge, Mich. The artwork will be displayed on Friday, June 16, from 3 – 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 17, from 10 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. Awards and cash prizes will be presented at 4 p.m. on Saturday for first, second, and third place in two categories—fine arts and photography. In addition, a cash prize for “People’s Choice” will be awarded; this award will be determined by votes cast by visitors to the show on Friday and Saturday. The recipient of the “Mike Jones Award for Contributions to the Arts” will also be announced.
If you participated as an artist in 2022, you will receive a letter and application by email soon. For new participants, application forms can be picked up and dropped off at the Stockbridge Library. A small fee of $10 will allow for up to four entries by an artist. For questions or additional information, please email stockbridgeareaartscouncil@gmail.com.
