Application Deadline: Sunday, March 23, 2014

Artlink Inc. will present the tantalizing work from local artists in a group exhibition at the second annual “Eight’s Check, Please! Arizona Festival” at Cityscape in downtown Phoenix.

CityScape will be transformed into an exploration of Arizona’s independent restaurant scene, from five-star dining establishments to tucked away cafes.

The theme of the “Feast Your Eyes” exhibition is the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, and most importantly, taste!) that all go into making a spectacular meal.

The display space for the event will be outdoors and open to the public, Artlink board members and volunteers will set up the booth, handle sales, and will monitor the booth during the festival.
