Get Creative and Show Your Artwork at the Summit County Fair Fine Art Show Coming Up Aug 12-14, 2021
The annual Summit County Fair brings the community together for a week of food, fun, exhibits, demonstrations, contests, and rides. In addition to the demolition derby (always a locals favorite), the livestock showings, the 4H displays, parade, pie baking contest, and the little buckeroo rodeo, the Fair hosts the Fine Arts Show at the Ledges Event Center at the Coalville Fairgrounds which gives local artists the opportunity to share their creative work with the public. Admission to all Fair events is free and a full schedule of activities is available on the Fair website.
Fine Arts Exhibit submission categories include photography, oil/acrylic painting, watercolor, graphic arts, sculpture, pottery, glass and metal. Youth (grades 9-12) and adults are eligible for awards and prizes that offer ribbons and cash premium prizes. Artists and creative people of all ages are encouraged to submit artwork—whether your're an emerging artist or an established artist!
Summit County residents can drop off artwork for the Fair at the Summit County Library Kimball Junction and the information office at the Summit County Courthouse in Coalville during the month of July. After July 31st, artists can check-in work at the Ledges Event Center at the County Fairgrounds on August 10th from 4-7pm.
