Applications are available for area artists interested in participating in the second annual “Art Among the Azaleas” event.  Scheduled to be held Saturday, May 5, 2012 from 2:00-6:00 p.m. at the Azalea Path Arboretum & Botanical Gardens located northeast of Princeton, Indiana, the event will provide the public with an opportunity to observe artists as they create their works amid the beauty of the Azalea Path.  Artists will also be offering their works for sale.  Food and entertainment will also be included in the admission price. Once again, proceeds from the event will benefit the LifeSkills classes at Princeton Community High School.

Artists of all media (including photography) are invited to apply to participate in “Art Among the Azaleas.”  There is no fee for artists to enter, however, artists must fill out an application and submit photos of examples of their work before being accepted into the event. (Artists who participated in the 2011 “Art Among the Azaleas” will not be required to submit additional photos of their work.)
