Youth Artist Information

For Artists 18 Years Old and Younger

Get the experience of exhibiting as a professional artist! Set up, take down and sell your art as a professional artist does. You can even ask them questions and get real-life advice from exhibiting artists!

Young artists who have participated in the Youth Art Division in the past have found it to be a wonderful and uniquely enriching experience.  The festival will provide you with a venue to showcase your original artwork to a large public audience. The Youth Artist Division will also give you the opportunity to experience exhibiting, talking about your work and selling your Art!

The Youth Artist Division is filled with artists on a “first come/first served basis” which means in order of receipt of applications.

Participating Youth Artists are expected to be at the art festival on all show days and for all show hours. Youth artists will be provided a table to use to display their artwork. Youth artists are welcome to bring their own shade covering (tent) to the shows. Participating youth artists in the Port Clinton Art Festival will be provided a shade covering and an 8′ table.

Financial support is available on a need basis. Please call 847-926-4300 or email [email protected] for more information.

If you have any questions (displaying, setting up, marketing, etc), please let us know. We’re here to help you succeed!

Youth Artist Division Information
  • The Youth Art Division is open to youth artists, 10-18 years old. Artists under 13 must be chaperoned by an adult at all times at the festival.
  • 2 exhibitors may be in one booth if both artists have worked together on a single body of artwork. Booth fees apply per space/per body of artwork. Fees go to help defray the production, advertising and security costs of this event.
  • Fees are non-refundable unless space is not available. If a space is not available, the fee will be refunded in full.
  • Artists may only display & sell original art made completely by the artist.
  • All types of original art may be shown: painting, drawing, jewelry, ceramics, prints, fiber, sculpture, photographs, glass and mixed media.
  • Artists are accepted in order of application receipt. Space is limited.
  • A table (or table space) and one chair will be provided to each registered artist. Artists will provide their own set-ups such as additional tables, easels, display boards, chairs, etc. All tables must be covered to the ground with cloth or other material.  Keep your display simple. You don’t want the display to distract from your work. Signs and prices should be neatly and clearly written.
  • The festival will run rain or shine. Artists are expected to stay for all show hours on both days.  If an artist leaves early they will not be allowed to participate in future festivals or the following day or the following day.
