I’d been thinking of participating in DC’s Artomatic since its beginning in 1999, but never got it together. Now there’s no excuse. This uncurated behemoth is coming to Frederick’s former Board of Education building, a short walk from my house.
Artomatic Frederick will transform the 27,000-foot space into a venue showcasing hundreds of visual artists. And if that’s not enough, music, poetry, and theater will be featured during the 5-week event. During that time there will be two First Saturdays, In the Street, the 72 Film Fest, and Halloween. So there should be plenty of visitors . . . and with luck, art buyers.
Artists’ registration will begin on August 1st; and the exhibition runs from September 28 to November 6.
One of the coveted spaces with plenty of natural light. Some rooms in this historic building have built-in shelves that would be perfect for ceramics and small sculptures.
