The Arts Council of Henderson County is thrilled to announce a unique opportunity for artists to showcase their talent at the upcoming La Vie En Rose event, held at the stunning Marked Tree Vineyard on June 8th. This year, we aim to immerse our community in the vibrant and diverse cultures of Latin America through art, music, dance, and more. We are seeking artists who are inspired by or rooted in Latin American cultures to help bring this vision to life.

We Invite You to Participate
We are looking for artists across all mediums—painters, sculptors, musicians, dancers, and more—who celebrate the rich traditions and innovative spirit of Latin American arts. Whether your work is deeply embedded in traditional practices or pushes the boundaries of contemporary Latin art, we want to hear from you.

Submission Details

• Deadline for Submissions: May 17, 2024 at 5:00PM

Event Participation
Selected artists will have the opportunity to display their work in a curated section of the vineyard, perform or present their art live, and engage with attendees passionate about Latin culture. We will also feature artists in our promotional materials and on social media, celebrating your work and contribution to the event.
