Applications Open for Arts Festival’s Children and Youth Sidewalk Sale

The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts has issued the call for entries for its annual Children and Youth Sidewalk Sale.

Part of the Children and Youth Day that kicks off the festival, the sidewalk sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 12, on South Allen Street in State College. The 2023 Arts Festival takes place July 12-16 on the streets of State College and the Penn State campus.

Children from ages 8 to 18 who live in, or who have relatives in Centre, Blair, Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon, Mifflin or Union counties are eligible to participate in the Children’s Sidewalk Sale, which offers a fun way for young artists to sell their original artwork. Artists must make their own work and items made from kits are not permitted.

Applications must be postmarked no later than June 23, 2023, and those postmarked after that date will not be considered. They may also be delivered in person to the Arts Festival offices at 403 S. Allen St., Suite 205A, State College until 5 p.m. on June 23. There is a $25 entry fee.
