Amdur Productions, a nationally acclaimed art festival production company, proudly launches its 30th year with its annual “call for artists.”  For three decades, Amdur Productions has organized many of Midwest’s most prestigious and successful juried art festivals, including the nationally recognized Port Clinton Art Festival.  In 2012, Amdur Productions expanded its geographic footprint beyond the Chicagoland area by launching new festivals in New Buffalo, Michigan; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Hallandale Beach, Florida. 

“The success of our shows is dependent upon the caliber of artists who participate in each of them,” say Amy Amdur, President and Founder of her namesake firm.  “We are always happy to see artists return year after year and welcome those who apply for the first time.”    

Once again, Amdur Productions is offering artists the opportunity to apply online for the summer’s exciting line-up of festivals. Artists can visit www.amdurproductions.com and click “APPLY NOW,” then follow the prompts to submit their work electronically.  Artists should submit four images of their work and one photo of their booth. All applications must be received by midnight on January 11 for consideration in this season’s extraordinary line up.  Late applications will be accepted through January 18 for an additional processing fee. After jury review, artists will be notified of their status online February 15, 2013.

Artists may apply to participate in any or all of the weekend art festivals, including:

o   The Chicago Botanic Garden Art Festival returns for its third season.  Since its return after a decade-long hiatus, the festival has quickly become a favorite for the art lovers that live near or travel to the Chicago Botanic Garden for a day of exploring. Since its first year, the festival has set attendance records for the Chicago Botanic Garden, one of the top five visitor attractions in the Chicago area. Art of a botanic theme, material or use is exclusively featured at the festival. The Chicago Botanic Garden is located about 1/2 hour north of Chicago.  Booths are on grass and pavement overlooking a lake and spectacular gardens.
