The Hopewell Harvest Fair needs YOU! We are looking for beautiful and eye-catching original artwork to grace the cover of our Almanac, as well as promotional products like posters and postcards.
​
GUIDELINES
THEME
The Harvest Fair is held annually on the grounds of our lovely Hopewell Elementary School. 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the first class to enter what was then known as the Hopewell Grammar School. To celebrate the centennial we are looking for art that creatively and colorfully blends school life (such as learning, teaching, students and faculty, the building itself, or anything related) with the spirit of the fall harvest season. For inspiration check out a history of the school at the Hopewell Valley History Project website. A collection of digitized old HES yearbooks and pamphlets is available there as well.
