Late applications are now accepted for all art festivals. Artists may be applying for a spot on the waitlist. Invitations to participate are based on available space at the time the application is received and jury score. If there are no available spaces at the time the artist applies, the artist will receive a waitlist number based on the application’s jury score. If a space becomes available at a show, we will invite an artist off the waitlist starting with waitlist #1 in the category where there is an opening.
