Call for Artists for Thunderbird Artists’ Premier Fine Art Festivals

When temperatures are soaring, it’s hard to imagine strolling through white tents full of vibrant paintings, evocative sculpture, bold jewelry, whimsical mixed media pieces, captivating photography and more. One good sign that art season is approaching is that Thunderbird Artists has issued a Call for Artists for its upcoming 37th season.

Based in Arizona, Thunderbird Artists produces sophisticated, award-winning, world-class fine art and wine festivals throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. The ongoing-juried open enrollment enables painters, sculptors, glass and stone artists, bronze and metal artists, fine jewelers and artists working in mixed media to apply for a booth in one or more of Thunderbird Artists festivals.

“We’re always seeking high quality fine art and originality,” said Denise Colter, president of Thunderbird Artists. “We’ve already lined up our November Carefree and January Surprise festivals, but we are still accepting applications for our 2019 winter and spring shows. Also, sometimes artists must cancel their participation, so feel free to contact our office regarding space opportunities for events with passed deadlines.”

When temperatures are soaring, it’s hard to imagine strolling through white tents full of vibrant paintings, evocative sculpture, bold jewelry, whimsical mixed media pieces, captivating photography and more. One good sign that art season is approaching is that Thunderbird Artists has issued a Call for Artists for its upcoming 37th season.

Based in Arizona, Thunderbird Artists produces sophisticated, award-winning, world-class fine art and wine festivals throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. The ongoing-juried open enrollment enables painters, sculptors, glass and stone artists, bronze and metal artists, fine jewelers and artists working in mixed media to apply for a booth in one or more of Thunderbird Artists festivals.

“We’re always seeking high quality fine art and originality,” said Denise Colter, president of Thunderbird Artists. “We’ve already lined up our November Carefree and January Surprise festivals, but we are still accepting applications for our 2019 winter and spring shows. Also, sometimes artists must cancel their participation, so feel free to contact our office regarding space opportunities for events with passed deadlines.”

Judi Combs, Thunderbird Artists’ founder, said participating artists can expect to showcase and sell their work alongside other professionals and engage with an affluent, art educated clientele.   

“Our focus has always been on producing high-caliber events, and at the same time, we work very hard to create a warm, friendly experience for both our artists and patrons,” Combs said.

The 25th Annual Fall Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival kicks off Thunderbird Artists’ new season on November 2, 3 & 4 in downtown Carefree at Easy and Ho Hum Streets.
