This two-day juried event, sponsored by the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce will be held in the Jackson Village Park. Selected artists and craftspeople will be selling their work under a large tent by the pond in Jackson Village. Other artisans, musicians and food vendors will also be located in the Village park. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the day.
It was through the eyes of the artists of the White Mountain School of Art that the world first became aware of the beauty of Jackson. Many of the artists of the 19th century White Mountain School came to Jackson to view the lovely scenes we live with every day from pastoral farms to the grandeur of Mt. Washington. In 1923, Wallace Nutting, author of New Hampshire Beautiful put it well when he said "people of Jackson can claim as their advantage to be in the immediate view of the best of the White Mountains. Jackson undoubtedly stands high among the more desirable mountain towns as a goal of visitation."
This holds true today. Works of art from local and visiting artists who convey their vision of this spectacular area on canvas continue to be popular purchases. Many of these artists are considering participation in this exciting new event. Art contests, entertainment, refreshments, and children’s events will go on throughout the day making this a day for the entire family.
