Artists and photographers, both
youth and adult, are encouraged to enter their
works in the 24th annual Fayette Art Show on
Saturday, Aug. 2. The Art Show is always one of
the most popular events of the annual Fayette
Festival of the Arts and attracts artists from
across Missouri and beyond.
Entries in the Art
Show are shown in two venues. The adult entries
will be in the Ashby-Hodge Gallery of American
Art in Classic Hall on the campus of Central
Methodist University. The youth entries will be
at 116 West Morrison on the south side of the historic Howard County
courthouse square. Exhibits at both locations
will be open for public viewing from 9 a.m. to 3
pm. Six entry fields are
included in the show with monetary prizes and
ribbons to be awarded to winning works. The
fields are Painting in Acrylic or Oil, Painting
in Watercolor or Pastel, Drawing in Pen & Ink,
Pencil or Charcoal, Photography, Sculpture, and
Varied Media (Computer Art, Fiber Art, Mixed
Media, etc.). A special award, The Dale Graham
Award for Black and White photography will also
be awarded. Each entry field is
open to any artist irrespective of age or
classification. Adults are judged in one of two
categories, professional or amateur. For youth
entries there are three age classifications:
Elementary, Middle School and High School. A
classification is based on the student’s status
for the 2024-25 school year.
Youth entries not
previously picked up from the schools will be
received in the Howard County Library on Tuesday
and Wednesday, July 29 and July 30 between the
hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. There is NO FEE for
these entries.
