A juried fine art show is coming to Colorado as the community receives one of the best art festivals ever to come to the area. Downtown Frisco Green Art Festival debuts on July 4 – 5, 2009 in conjunction with the Town of Frisco’s July 4th Weekend celebration.

This two-day event brings together an eclectic mix of the nation’s most talented artists from around the country and locally, who will collectively display over $15 million in artwork. The artists were juried by an independent panel of expert judges, and hand-selected from hundreds of applicants based on quality and diversity. All of their artwork is original and handmade in America. This green art fair will allow each artist the opportunity to showcase one piece of art created in an environmentally sound process or in which recycled or repurposed objects have been incorporated into the artwork. This green artwork should serve to inspire and encourage environmentally friendly practices that will not only benefit the community but our ecosystem.

“We are a national touring art fair based in South Florida, but we found that some of our best customers come from the Colorado region as it is an area that actively supports the arts,” says show promoter Howard Alan. “Downtown Frisco deserves a top-rate art fair and we’re looking forward to bringing a local contingency of artists, as well as a troupe of artists from around the country that have never exhibited in this area before.”

Downtown Frisco Green Art Festival makes the arts accessible to a broad audience. Prices range from $25 hand-designed earrings to $20,000 metal sculptures. The event appeals to family and friends as a free and fun weekend activity, as well as serious art buyers looking to add to their collections. Howard Alan comments, “In spite of today’s economy people are still investing in art because art heals, art soothes; this is art that is handmade in America.”
