MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN FRISCO, COLORADO
FRISCO, COLORADO (date, 2008) – The Main Street of the Rockies Art Festival celebrates its 2nd anniversary on August 8 – 9, 2008, as the streets of are transformed into a first-class outdoor art showcase complete with 150 artists and $15 million in artwork available for sale. Admission is free and open to the public.

“We are looking forward to arriving in Frisco and painting the town with 15 million dollars of art,” said The King of Art Howard Alan, producer of the top outdoor art festivals in the country.

In order to ensure a superior art event with only the highest quality of original artwork, Main Street of the Rockies Art Festival is a juried art show in which all of the local and national artists have been hand-selected from hundreds of applicants.

Whether you are a casual art enthusiast, festival-goer or avid collector, there is something for everyone. From $25 hand-designed earrings and $50 prints, to $20,000 metal sculptures, original artwork will cover a full spectrum of mediums, including paintings, sculptures, photography, glass, ceramics, mixed media and more.

Unlike a typical gallery setting, all of the artists will be at the festival with their artwork, giving visitors the opportunity to talk with the artists, learn about their art and what inspires them, and of course purchase or commission original pieces.

Festival Hours: Saturday, August 8, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Sunday, August 9, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Location: Main Street in Downtown Frisco, Colorado.
