The 100% Unofficial Art In Speed Park Insiders Guide
Welcome to the Art in Speed Park Art Show Guide
Art In Speed Park sounds like an unusual name for a fair, but for over a quarter of a century it has proven to be an outstanding celebration of the arts. Held August 25 and 26 in Sellersburg, Indiana from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, this fair is free and open to the public. For the protection of the artwork and convenience of the attendees, the event will be pet free. Sellersburg is situated only 10 minutes from Louisville, Kentucky.
This will be a juried art fair, which means it is a competition. There is a specific set of criteria that the judges review against the work presented and prizes are awarded. There promises to be a diversity of media that will include traditional painting and sculpture and possibly more avant garde offerings.
