Jury Process
Submission requirements for all artists:
1) Artistic mediums eligible for the jury process include: painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics and wood. Digital art created through AI (artificial intelligence) will not be accepted.
2) A minimum of three images of artist's original work must be presented. If more than one medium, then at least three examples of EACH medium (example: painting, jewelry, mixed, etc).
Last name_First name TITLE of PIECE 1
If more than one image of same piece, then label 1 after first one and 2 after second one, 3 after third one (Last name_First name TITLE of PIECE 2)
3) Resume should include artist statement, education and any juried shows, invitational shows, or group shows with dates
4) Website and any social media channels artist is active on
5) Guest artists must provide information on how they plan to show their studio or work space set up at the non-studio venue, including materials. This must also include a statement about the artist’s process and techniques. Remember, this is not just a craft or art show, it is a studio visit and those who attend like to see how and where the artist works. For example, if you are a weaver, you would bring a portable loom and be able to demonstrate your skill. If a jeweller, you might have to bring a variety of supplies and have ability to demonstrate how you work.
6) If artist works in more than one medium, EACH MEDIUM will need to be juried and considered separately. (Painters need not submit separately for oils, acrylics or watercolours, but if you are a a painter that also produces jewellery then you would need to submit both mediums for consideration.)
The decision of the jurying committee will be final and you will receive an email no later
than April 15th on your acceptance for the Studio Tour.
