Artists needed for Mukwonago Music in Park Art Event 7/14 - reply by 5/17 if interested

Welcome all established artists, photographers, sculptors to our SE Wisconsin FAME initiative!! Fine Arts 'n Motion Events are happening.
Even with a small turnout at our meeting last week, we have a plan and are going for it. Our greater community needs us and needs Art here!
Plan to attend a get-together on Monday eve. May 21 to regroup and plan our first and Mukwonago's first "Art in the Park" event featuring us!
We will meet at 5-6 pm either at BrookLife or another destination, maybe in the Indianhead park area where we will be featured.
Look at this weeks Mukwonago Chief (page 3- "Chamber seeks approval for band shell" article) that outlines the redo of the successful Music in the Park that we will lead up to with our Art in the Park from 2-6, 7 pm. Thanks.

Excerpts from the meeting minutes


The Chamber will again host the very popular-”Music in the Park “on July 14 at Indianhead Park from 6-9pm. A fundraiser is underway to build the new Band shell there as well. The Chamber wishes to add an art show but does not have the knowledge or connections to do this. They asked us to take ownership of this event-- with their support (marketing, fee waivers, and assistance).
It will be a challenge, but is a GREAT opportunity to build upon. We decided to join this initiative and develop it as our first art event/show for our FAME group. With short notice, we will start small or as a community ‘Art Start’ event with great potential to grow in the future.
Vivian Foster will lead the effort to host a Plein Air weeklong event leading to a Saturday capstone at Art in the Park.
We encourage you to join in, plan, develop and participate. We will develop a juried system, and minimum operating-cost fee structure. The promotion and publicity will be arranged by the Mukwonago Chamber of Commerce.
Please reply to Jim MacDonald by Thursday, May 17th if you are interested in planning or participating.
