Seeking designs for the 2020 Downtown Fargo Street Fair this summer.

The Downtown Community Partnership (DCP) announces the call for artists to get creative and submit pieces for the official 45th Annual Downtown Fargo Street Fair sticker, sponsored again this year by Alerus.

NEW this year, we are seeking the public’s input by voting for the official Downtown Fargo Street Fair collectible sticker.

“We’re pleased to sponsor the commission for this year’s Downtown Fargo Street Fair artwork,” said Dan Doeden, market president of Alerus in Fargo. “Artists and creativity are an important part of our community, and this event. We look forward to seeing this year’s theme come to life and getting even more involved with the selection process by opening the voting up to the public.”

Interested artists are asked to capture their view on the “spirit of celebration” that the Downtown Fargo Street Fair brings to the community each year. The 2020 selected artist will receive $750, their artwork featured on all 2020 Fargo Street Fair promotional materials which include T-Shirts, collectible sticker, Downtown Fargo website, Downtown Fargo Street Fair Facebook page, Coke truck back, along with a notable mention on the main map for the 45th Annual Downtown Fargo Street Fair.

Interested artists are asked to deliver their art (one entry per artist, framed or unframed) to the Downtown Community Partnership, located at (207 4th St. N., Suite B) no later than April 1st, 2020.

Please call ahead (701-241-1570) to ensure someone is at the office. Only delivered works will be allowed (no photographic, slide or electronic submissions of the original art). Artist selected will be notified by May 1st. Please direct all questions to Rachel@downtownfargo.com
