As part of the 3rd Annual Harvest Windmill Festival, Evansville Community Partnership, Inc. is accepting registrations from artists who wish to participate in a downtown art project called "Windmills on Parade." 

The Evansville Main Street business district will be lined with one-of-a-kind 8 ft. windmills created by artists or artist teams.  This project pays tribute to Evansville's history of innovative windmill technology led by Baker Manufacturing, recognizes our culturally rich artist community and celebrates Evansville's forward thinking perspective on energy initiatives.  

Windmills on Parade is a blocks-long gallery which gives a festive air to our walkable downtown, generating interest in visiting and shopping in our Main Street area.

The artists' windmills will be installed between June 1 and July 15 and will remain on display until Sunday September 12.  The windmill exhibit ends with a grand finale auction up and down Main Street during the Harvest Windmill Festival. 

Artists receive 50% of the proceeds from the auction of their windmill, while 50% will goes to fund the Harvest Windmill Festival, a three-day celebration of Evansville's rich bounty and vibrant history. 

There is a $100.00 entry fee to Windmills On Parade. The entry fee includes an 8 ft galvanized steel standard form windmill from Dave's ACE Hardware.  Artists may manipulate the standard form windmill in their own creative style. Windmills on Parade artists are welcome to procure sponsors to cover any of their costs as well.

New for this year is the Open Class.  Artists who do not wish to use the windmill frameworks may create their own eight-foot windmill for the parade.  All Open Class windmills must be functioning and safe and will be mounted on grass.  Entry fee for this class is $100.
