2021 CALL FOR ARTISTS - Closed


The Middleburg Arts Council invites artists to take part in this town-wide event.  This is a juried event, and if selected, artists will need to bring their own 10'x10' tent (white top preferred - no tarps).  Artists will be assigned a location around the town on a first-come-first-serve basis.  Location information will be provided to the artists, along with set-up time, prior to the event.  

 Successful applicants will be notified of their selection.  Non-refundable reservation fee:  $50 which includes the temporary business license fee.                     

For the first time, Art in the Burg will offer a People's Choice Award.  Artists selected to participate in Art in the Burg may also submit one piece of art for the People's Choice Award.  A digital image will be requested upon the artist's selection.  Voting will take place on the Arts Council's Facebook page.  The winner's art will be displayed during Art in the Burg and they will receive $100 and a People's Choice Certificate.
