About the Festival: Buy Local? By Locals! This show will be an enthusiastic supporter of the 'Buy Local' campaigns that are revitalizing America... The festival will focus on the amazing and creative folks that live in our region (approximately 200 mile radius of Paducah, KY) and draw people from much farther away who want to know what kinds of artistic talent comes out of our region!
Lower Town in Paducah, the site of the Festival, is one of the oldest established neighborhoods in the region - many of the homes have been converted into work/live artists' studios and galleries. We will be using this historical setting to do things like Balcony Theater and Comedy (really, neat, yes?). The neighborhood is compact (not a long wandering
street) and offers guests a comfortable and easy day where they can see everything we have to offer. This is a fantastic opportunity for you, as a participating artist, to place your work within this nationally neighborhood in the midst of recognized working artists' galleries and participate in the national attention this unique show will receive.
Special attention is being paid to every aspect of this festival: the food vendors will be bringing their best - many of the finest local restaurants will use this as a 'taste of Paducah' venue - even the beer and wine will be regional (and boy, did we win the lottery on this!). The Symphony will be coordinating the performance and presentation stages (3), and there will be many tie-ins to benefit local charities and non-profit organizations. What does this mean to you? It means that many different people have many different reasons to come and see you in Paducah during the festival!
Come join us this weekend - the weather should be warm and sultry, the neighbors are friendly, and we want everyone to see how talented you really are...

Living in Paducah, Kentucky, normally means a pretty quiet life for me. I don't go out much, focus on my web business and projects around the house, and time flies by. Two yearly events are a lot of fun for me, though, and I make a point of getting out there and joining in the fun. The first comes in April, our AQS Quilt Show. The second comes in May: The LowerTown Art and Music Festival. Artists from around the Paducah area set up their tents, display their wares, while visitors dance in the streets to the rhythm of visiting musicians. Now is the time for artists to apply for their booth spaces, so I am including the info here.
Show Dates: 5/21/10 - 5/23/10
Application Deadline: 4/1/10 Midnight CST You can enter online at

ReplyDeleteI work for the AQS and you probably know this already, but just in case you don't I wanted to let you know about our membership package.
When you become a member ($25/year) you receive $13 off each AQS show you attend, plus more amazing benefits so that the membership basically pays for itself.
Check it out: www.americanquilter.com/quilt_world/user_signup.php
Also we have several blogs one of which is: www.americanquiltermagazine.blogspot.com
Thank you for supporting Paducah, and for your great blog, keep up the great work!
