The Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair is coming this fall and submissions are open for Amateur Art and Amateur Performances! The annual Art & STEM Exhibition invites amateur art from all ages throughout the South Bay, including students, faculty, parents, and friends. Everyone is welcome to submit up to three entries in the following categories:

• 2D art, including painting, drawing, and collage, as well as digital printouts
• 3D art, including sculpture, woodwork, ceramics, cast objects, and painted 3D objects
• Photography
• Fiber arts, including knitting, sewing, weaving, crochet, and embroidery

They also invite K-12 student submissions in their “Imagine the Future” STEM Art Contest, whose theme this year is “Robots in the South Bay”. Additionally, they are soliciting performances of all ages for their Amateur Stage, which can include poetry, music, dance, drama, and other performance art.

Hometown Fair is October 7-8, 2023 and the deadline for submissions is Sept. 29. Further information on the Art Exhibition, STEM Art Contest, and Amateur Stage is available at the website:www.mbfair.org
