September 7th (Sat) & September 8th (Sun) 2019 • FRISCO, COLORADO
Meet The Artists-Frisco (MTA) is held in conjunction with the Town of Frisco’s annual Fall Fest event (Frisco Fall Fest). Heavily promoted by the town, Fall Fest features the MTA Art Festival, a “Taste of Frisco” food tent on Main Street and live music on Saturday. On Sunday there will be all-day live performances by local singer/songwriters in the Historic Park Gazebo.
Frisco, Colorado on the shores of Lake Dillon, in full view of the famous Peak One of the Ten-Mile mountain range, is a high adventure town that sports a Colorado Rocky Mountain life style at 9000 feet in the glorious Rockies. The fall colors of the golden aspens at this time of the year are stunning and make for a superb setting for the “Meet the Artist” show.
Artist booths are located throughout the Frisco Historic Park located on Frisco’s Main Street. This is a prime weekend with fall visitors, second home owners and locals enjoying Fall Fest and the Rocky Mountains. No other show offers this combination of prime location, date and exclusivity to artists.
ELIGIBILITY
Meet the Artists (MTA) is a juried show.
All work must be original and be produced directly by the artist.
