Artist Profile
We are working hard to provide opportunities for artists to show and sell their work. The best way to stay informed of opportunities in the High Country and beyond is submit an artist profile.
We review profiles regularly when seeking work for shows, exhibits, and events. We will contact you if we have specific opportunities that could benefit you as an artist. We often get emails and invitations for shows, competitions, fellowships, professional development and more.

Musicians, Performers, and Artists to Demonstrate
Seeking Musicians, Performers, and Artist Demonstrators
Help us show the world a creative Watauga. We want you to be seen and heard! We would love to offer opportunities to artists and musicians to self promote while also representing the creative community in Watauga. Seeking musicians or performers to play in public on our stage! Let us know if you have interest in playing in our gallery space during open hours, for First Friday, or other special events. Performers could put out a tip jar or have a Venmo tip sign, and may sell their music. Artists Demonstrators: Seeking Artists of all art forms who are willing to show what they do or how they do it. As part of an "Energize the Arts" campaign, we are seeking artists who would like paint or draw on site or demonstrate how they do their craft. In most cases, an artist could bring a small body of work (not a full booth space) to sell on site. Boone Drug 2022 T-Shirt Competition

Consideration will also be given to balancing the types of items/foods, so there is not too much of any one item represented. First preference given to Artists and Vendors with a Boone connection.

Watauga Arts Council is hosting a "Paint the Town!" event. Pictures preserve the past, so let’s do what we can to preserve this point in time with our wonderful drawings and paintings. In honor of Boone’s 150th year anniversary, we invite Plein Air (outdoor) painters of all mediums and abilities to come to paint beloved scenery of Downtown Boone and its expanded areas. Register with the Arts Council to receive a list of can’t-miss locations or join the fun on your own. High Country Plein Air Painters invites painters to join them at the Historic Lovill House Inn on Wednesday, May 18th for a breakfast and paint session in their gardens from 9am - 12pm. A wet paint show will be held at the King Street Art Collective on Saturday May 21 from 6-8pm. Pictures from the wet paint show can be submitted into our “Paint the Town” exhibit that will run from May - the end of June. We invite artists to submit work (any medium) they have completed (old or new) that captures a moment in time here in Boone. We will allow artwork to be purchased off the wall or not-for-sale. Plein Air painters from out-of-town are invited to take advantage of a special rate at at the historic Lovill House Inn.
