Art Barn
Plumas-Sierra County Fair

Stayed Tuned for details about the 2023 Art Barn at the Plumas Sierra County Fair
Picture
"The monumental task of getting all the art accepted and up on the walls, and docenting during the fair requires many hands and hundreds of volunteer hours to accomplish. We need your help."
The Art Barn at the Plumas-Sierra County Fair proudly showcases the work of artists of all ages and abilities. Plumas Arts is the Superintendent for the Art Barn and works hard each year to coordinate the preparation and display of work in this much-visited exhibition.
​
Work is delivered to the fairgrounds on Thursday and Friday the week before the fair opens. About six volunteers in 2 to 4 hour shifts are needed during that time.
 
During the fair,  pairs of docents work in two-hour shifts  to care for the work and help with the People’s Choice Awards voting. Art Barn Hours are Thursday & Sunday from Noon to 8pm and Friday & Saturday from Noon to 9pm.   
 
Any amount of time you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Every volunteer working 4 hours or more will be given a free admission pass to the fair for that day.

To sign up to volunteer please call 530-283-3402 or email jennifer@plumasarts.org

 Fair Entry Forms

Forms available closer to the Fair
​Returning in 2023  is the Animal “Adoption” Fundraiser. Wooden Animal “adoption” and decoration has been a huge hit in previous years, with decorated pigs, roosters, and fish. 
 
Stay Tuned....
Adoptive animals need your loving, creative attention to decorate and make uniquely yours.
​Note:  no large increases in overall size (added height or length), no profanity or offensive material/wording/design. Remember to only decorate one side!
 
Suggested materials:  paint, textiles, plant material, seeds, craft materials, tiles, upcycle materials or…think of free-flowing art or a theme.
 
The "adopted" animals  will be judged by a special group of judges not fair related. There will be prizes awarded for the following categories: Most creative use of materials, Most artistic, most “trout” like, and  prizes and ribbons for the People’s Choice.
Fair Entry Forms are available at Plumas Arts Gallery 525 Main St Wednesday-Friday 11am-5pm OR alternately, download forms above. Use the Exhibit Guide to help you fill out your entry form. 
**If you are needing  any art framed for display at the art barn, the Plumas Arts frame shop is offering framing specials. Contact Roxanne at roxanne@plumasarts.org or (530) 283-3402.

Thank you to the amazing Art Barn coordinator of previous years, Maggie Hennessy. She brought the project to life with infectious enthusiasm, steely-eyed determination, and a big dose of humor. We are truly grateful for her efforts. She now passes the torch to our Events Coordinator, Jennifer Ready.
