“Bright reds―scarlet, pillar-box red, crimson or cherry―are very cheerful and youthful. There is certainly a red for everyone.”
~ Christian Dior
Strawberries are Red is a national call for entry—open to all ages—for 2D or 3D artwork containing or about strawberries, or simply containing the color of strawberries. The Strawberries are Red exhibit coincides with the 43rd Annual Troy Strawberry Fest (www.gostrawberries.com). The Troy Strawberry Fest is held the first weekend in June and is one of the top-attended festivals in the state of Ohio. The theme for this year’s Troy Strawberry Fest is “A Berry WACO Weekend”. Artwork submitted for the exhibit does not have to be of strawberries or relate to the Troy Strawberry Fest theme.
