OTSEGO, Mich. (WOOD) — Cloudy and rainy skies weren’t going to stop curators, volunteers and attendees from enjoying the 32nd annual Creative Arts Fest Saturday.
The weather wasn’t going to stop the community from showcasing its newest addition to the festival: Art Challenge.
Art Challenge, devised by the Otsego Chamber of Commerce, allows locals to enter-in their art pieces for display and a chance at a $500 reward during the Saturday afternoon event, making it comparable to Grand Rapids’ Art Prize.
There were 25 local artists who submitted something for the challenge, and 2,500 people voted. The winner was announced and took home the cash reward.
There is also a new addition to this year’s festival, called Makers Market. This addition is specifically for children aged 7 to 17, and allows participants to create and sell their art to attendees.
