* 11th ANNUAL RIVER CITY ROOTS FEST FINE ART SHOW*

 The Missoula Downtown Association is seeking fine art artists for the Art
Show at the 11th annual River City Roots Festival, slated for August 26-27,
2016 in Downtown Missoula. Artists can apply online at
www.rivercityrootsfestival.com/fine-art-show and the deadline is Friday,
April 1. Booth fees are a mere $150 for the two-day art show on Main Street.

 The Signature Celebration of Missoula, River City Roots Festival serves as
the Welcome Home bash for University of Montana students, faculty and
staff, as well as a festival for the entire community to enjoy. Roots Fest
is an admission-free event that features Music on Main, a Fine Art Show, a
Four-Mile Run, the Family Fun Festival, plus local food and beverages. Last
year nearly 15,000 folks attended Roots Fest.

 “The Roots Fest Art Show has displayed some of the best art you’ll see in
this region,” said Ellen Buchanan, chair of the Roots Fest Committee. “Our
goal every year is to bring in artists with unique styles and items for
folks to enjoy and purchase. Missoula has a very strong arts community and
the Art Show showcases this love – Roots Fest wouldn’t be complete without
it. ”

Approximately 40 select artists will be chosen by a panel of art
aficionados. Artist feedback indicates the Roots Fest Art Show is one of
the best in the region due to hospitality services, venue, music selection,
and weather.

Additional information on Roots Fest can be obtained by contacting the
Missoula Downtown Association via phone (406-543-4238) or email (
