Application Period Starting for Millionaire's Row Art Festival

The third annual "Art of Millionaire's Row" event--based partly on Monrovia's annual arts festival--is coming to the  Library on June 9 and artists from across Southern California are encouraged to apply to have their work displayed.

The festival will include artist booths, craft booths and food vendors. Applications for artists wishing to display their work will be available starting January 15, and can be submitted on the library's website or picked up and filled out at the library itself.

Monrovia's helped to inspire Millionaire's Row, according to Michel Choban, one of the event's organizers.

"Many of our participating artists come from Monrovia, and some have advised us on how to proceed, based on their experience with Monrovia's own very successful festival," Choban wrote in an email last year.

There are two ways for artists or crafts people to have their wares displayed: they can either enter an artwork in the salon exhibition or rent a 10' by 10' space and set up their own booth.

There is a $50 fee for those looking to rent a booth, and $25 for those who want exhibition space. Applications are due on April 27.

Works on exhibition and for sale will include painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, photography, prints, fabrics and leather, jewelry, and mixed media and assemblage

The festival is named for the old nickname for the neighborhood around the library, which featured several prominent mansions in the early days of Altadena.
