Scottsboro’s annual Art Sunday to feature works from 80 artists

SCOTTSBORO — More than 80 artisans and craftsmen will make their way to Scottsboro in September to participate in a juried show and offer their artworks and crafts for sale when the Scottsboro Three Arts Club hold its annual Art Sunday event the first Sunday in September.

Along with arts and crafts, the event offers musical entertainment, children’s activities, photography contests and food and beverage vendors. This year will be the 51st annual event.

Set for Sept. 1 in King Caldwell Park, Art Sunday features nationally recognized artists and emerging, local creators from across north Alabama and southern Tennessee. Festival attendees will have the opportunity to shop the work of 80-plus artists and makers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Children’s activity spots will be situated throughout the park. From balloon art to hair tinsel to woodworking with Home Depot and Love Luggage with Unclaimed Baggage, there will be something fun for the kids. Look for the purple tents for these special activities.

Take a shopping break from searching for one-of-a-kind creations and enjoy performances by talented singers, dancers and musicians from the local area. The entertainment stage will be located near the back of the park, closest to the food vendors.

In conjunction with the festival, a photography contest is offered for aspiring amateur photographers. All entries receive free admission to the festival plus each entry will be entered for a chance to win prizes. First place winners of each youth age division will receive a digital camera. Adult winners will receive a Walmart gift card.

To enter the photography contest, submit an 8 by 10 photo of a person, place or thing with an entry form and a $5 entry fee. Submissions can be dropped off at the Scottsboro Board of Education or Jackson County Board of Education or brought to the cabin located in King Caldwell Park between 9 and 11 a.m. Sept. 1.

Admission to the festival is $3 for adults, $2 for school-age children and free for children ages 5 and under. Entry is also free for guests wearing this year’s Art Sunday t-shirt and also free to anyone with a military ID.
