ArtFields is a new artfest happening right here in our city April 19-28, 2013! This ten-day art contest, one of the largest visual art competitions in the Southeast, will take place April 19-28, 2013, awarding $100,000 in cash prizes to winning artists. Business operators will play an integral role in bringing ArtFields to full fruition by hosting and exhibiting official competition Entries. The Entries will consist of photography, painting, sculpture and much more!
