Hey there, Lewisville residents and artsy folks from everywhere, the City of Lewisville has flung open the doors for vendors to apply for this year's ColorPalooza, and you've got until March 29 to throw your hat in the ring. Detailed in an official city announcement, this annual celebration of spring, ColorPalooza, is looking for a diverse mix of Artist/Exhibitor vendors, Nonprofit vendors, Eco-Alley vendors, but keep your commercial intentions at bay—corporate vendors need not apply.
Set for April 25, from the bright and early of 10 a.m. until the sun dips at 5 p.m., ColorPalooza is all about embracing the local community's artistic talents and fostering a healthier environment. Nestled comfortably in Wayne Ferguson Plaza, this free event promises to be a family-friendly escapade with more exhibits and interactive activities than you can shake a paintbrush at. According to the call made by the City of Lewisville, while you can marvel at the pros, it's also a chance to get your own hands dirty—or painted, or clay-smeared, take your pick.
"To qualify as an Artist/Exhibitor vendor, all products on display must be handcrafted, hand-stitched, homemade, or manufactured by the applicant or applicant’s representatives," as per the City of Lewisville. And lest we forget, foodies will get their day in the sun too, but only those hand-picked by festival staff—a nod to honoring cultural cuisine, they say.
Meanwhile, the nonprofit world is not left out, with an invite extended to those of you running 501(c)(3) or (c)(6) certified operations. You're encouraged to go beyond table and flyers, they’re looking for you to bring along interactive craft or art projects, "to reinforce the festival theme," said the City of Lewisville.
If all this has your creative juices flowing, snag an application at LewisvilleColorPalooza.com, and should you hit a snag or two in the process, Shelly Pershing is the go-to person for answers, ready at [email protected] to assist. Just remember, time waits for no vendor—the March 29 deadline is as firm as the clay you might mold into your festival art piece.
