 Columbus, IN, Unknown

On November 11, 2017, the Déjà Vu Art and Fine Craft Show will be held at The Commons, a civic area in downtown Columbus, Indiana. Having opened just six years ago, this spectacular facility is a great place to show your art and fine crafts.

Last year, the Déjà Vu Art and Fine Craft Show was named an Indiana Bicentennial Legacy Project. In keeping with the celebration of Indiana’s 200th year of statehood, they challenged artists to create one piece of art or fine craft inspired with a Hoosier theme, and it was very successful. They plan to issue a new challenge for the 2017 show, and it will be announced later.

  •  This is a juried show, and only 60 applicants who reuse and/or recycle items and a few who create their work from natural or sustainable materials will be accepted.
  • The show hours are 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., EST.
  • Exhibit space will be approximately 10’x10′. Chairs will be provided and tables are available, free of charge, to those who are among the first to request them.
  • Awards include Best of Show, First, Second, and Third Places, and four Honorable Mention prizes. Also, an Artists’ Challenge will be sent in July, and the winner of the award also will receive a cash prize.
  • Along with your application, please send at least three photos of your work and one booth shot. We’ll accept digital photos on a CD/DVD, or you may send them online to kidatart@kid-at-art.com. Also include the $10 jury fee, with the check made payable to CAAC, and include the words Déjà Vu Jury Fee in the memo section. Mail your application and other required materials to the Columbus Area Arts Council, 300 Washington St., Columbus IN 47201.
  • Application deadline is June 16, and you’ll be notified of your status by July 5. If you’re accepted, the booth rental fee of $100 must be paid by July 24. No refunds will be issued after August 31.
  • The sponsors, which include the Bartholomew County Solid Waste Management District, Columbus Area Arts Council, Columbus Area Visitors Center, First Financial Bank, Hotel Indigo, Kroot Corporation, Papa’s Deli/Papa’s Grill, Puccini’s, and The Commons take no responsibility for loss or damage to your work. For your personal protection, we recommend you purchase liability insurance for exhibiting at the show.
