Celebrate the Bloom Professional Art Contest

Join Jennings Environmental Education Center for their 6th annual “Celebrate the Bloom” festival on July 27!  Over the years, thousands of visitors have traveled to this festival which celebrates the state’s only protected prairie and it’s featured flower the blazing star.  The blazing star is a native flower found in northern Butler County and is most commonly associated with Jennings.  During the festival, there are nature explorations along the scenic trails, engaging demonstrations, artisans, food and live entertainment from local musicians.

This year, in an effort to enhance the visitor experience with something new, there will be a professional art show and Jennings wants to see the protected prairie through the eyes of artists!

Professional artists from the 100-mile radius of Slippery Rock, PA, are invited to apply electronically for the Jennings juried exhibition to compete for cash prizes, First Place $500, Second $250, Third $100, and People’s Choice $100!
