This year over $5,000 is available including two new awards for Emerging Artists. The show is judged by highly qualified judges.
Artist Paul Sumberg has participated in the show over the years. Sumberg said, “I live in the North Georgia mountains where I am only a few miles in any direction from numerous art festivals throughout the year. I would much rather come to Riverview to participate in the Annual Winthrop Arts Festival and Market because the festival is all about art.”
There are sponsorships opportunities available at varying levels. This includes the Friends of Winthrop Arts at $125. This level allows anyone who loves the arts to support the arts.
