The Art of Jazz
The 2014 Fairborn Jazz Festival held each year in Central Park would like to add another piece to the event by incorporating a live artist’s component to the music festival. In cooperation with the Fairborn Art Association, the Jazz Festival Committee would like to invite local and regional artists to participate in this community event.
Booth space will be available at Central Park for a limited number of artists. Our intention is to grow this annual Jazz Festival into a jazz and street art music festival titled “The Art of Jazz” eventually incorporating our Downtown District.
We welcome artists of different styles and mediums to participate in this 2014 event, on Saturday August 2, from 12pm to 8:30pm. There will be a $25 fee for booth space. This fee will be waived for members of the Fairborn Art Association however, registration is still required.
Please contact the Fairborn Parks and Recreation Department at (937)754-3090 for more event information and for a booth application. You can also contact the Parks and Recreation Department at [email protected].
