FAST LANE ART

Art can change lives.

Fast Lane Art wants to give opportunities to both the artists who create and the people who it impacts.

The mission of Berks Arts is to inspire, engage, and unite the community through arts education, collaboration and presentation. Fast Lane Art is a juried contest and exhibition, presented by Berks Arts and in collaboration with the Berks County Intermediate Unit, which celebrates and displays the work of high school artists in a special exhibition and through the use of public art. Top winners receive cash prizes for outstanding achievement, as selected by the Fast Lane Art Selection Committee.

The selected pieces will be showcased across Berks County in a variety of applications, including window displays, bridge banners, pole banners, and billboards. This is only possible with the participation of the towns, boroughs, and businesses that help cover cost for materials and installation.
