The 2022 Jazz & Beyond Music and Art Festival is calling artists for two opportunities. First is an art contest for poster and program design. Second is participation in the fourth annual Carson City Open Studios Tour in August. Entry deadline for both is Tuesday, May 17. The art contest invites Nevada artists, including teachers and students to submit entries. The winning design will be used to promote the Jazz & Beyond festival, will be featured on the festival poster, program cover, and potentially on a T-shirt, and the winner will receive a cash award of $100. Participation is free and artists may submit up to 3 entries. Entry forms are available at milehighjazz.com/artcontest2022.pdf.
