Pinnacle Hills Art Festival approaches
Posted on Thursday, August 28, 2008
ROGERS - The streets and walkways of the Pinnacle Hills Promenade will be filled with the creations of more than 100 artists and exhibitors Sept. 5-7.
For the second consecutive year, the Pinnacle Hills Art Festival, a juried art show and sale, will be presented with a streetfestival atmosphere. There is no charge to attend the festival.
Unique, handmade pieces in approximately 14 categories ranging from woodwork, photography, painting and jewelry to other traditional and nontraditional types of visual arts will be shown.
"Our goal is to create an annual art festival that in the years to come will grow to rival any other in the U. S. A. for participation by acclaimed artists, while attracting art lovers from around the globe," festival cofounder Dan Stiel said.
Co-producing the festival with Stiel is Steve Schmidt, president of the Eureka Springs Artists Registry.
Eureka Springs artist Ralph Wilson will conduct a hands-on children's workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 6.
The beneficiary of the festival is the THEA Foundation, established in 2001 in honor of Thea Leopoulos, a young woman - accomplished in the arts - who was killed in a car accident. The THEA Foundation is the group behind the highly successful Art Across Arkansas program, launched in October 2006 by the Clinton and THEA foundations.
Dates and times of the festival are 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 5; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 6; and noon to 6 p.m. Sept. 7.
