The Juried Show is found beneath the festival's signature white tent strung between the trees at Art on the Green. The show features artwork which has been submitted for review by the Juried Show judges and represents some the best work being created locally and nationally.

Every year over $5,000 in purchase prizes and awards, including three purchase awards, are awarded for exemplary pieces. These awards ensure that the CCA's dedication to the arts extends beyond the festival and other cultural activities to the community at large.

The Community Purchase Award

Each year the CCA selects a building of the community to receive a painting or sculpture from the Juried Show.
