Art for All is sponsored by the Dickinson County Council for the Arts.

Art for All is a juried art show of fine arts and crafts.
Each applicant must submit an application fee and photographs of their work for review by a panel of judges.
The application deadline is May 1, 2010.
"This event has seen a significant resurgence of interest over the past few years, with more than 60 exhibitors participating in the 2009 show. The Bay College West location has increased the show's visibility and has dramatically increased patron support and artists' sales," organizers said.
Art for All 2010 is calling for artists and craft persons of exceptional quality that specialize in fiber, wood, glass, jewelry, painting (all media), pottery, photography and sculpture.
Works in unique and unusual media offerings will also be considered.
In addition, exhibitors will have their work for sale at the show.
Other featured events will include a Young People's Art Exhibit showcasing talent from area schools, musical entertainment, and arts and crafts demonstration.
Vendors will be selling food and refreshments.
There will also be a silent auction that will feature original art work donated by Art for All exhibitors and an Interactive Children's exhibit.
Children will have the opportunity to paint Mardi Gras style masks or create an original work of art on canvas.
Local area businesses will again be sponsoring cash awards, including People's Choice Award, Best in Show, and Most Promising Artist.
Cash prizes (Awards of Excellence) will be given to the first place artist in each media category.
