Applications must be received by Sunday, Aug. 11, in order for artists to participate. Applications can also be obtained at Georgetown’s Chardon Jewelry and The Upper Crust. Exhibitors' handcrafted artwork will be displayed at various businesses and organizations throughout Georgetown with the emphasis on the downtown and The Circle.
