NEW THIS YEAR: Emerging Artists Program
Art In The Pearl is featuring a unique opportunity for visual artists who are Oregon or Washington residents. The Emerging Artist Program offers new artists the opportunity to showcase their talent at one of the nation's premier art festivals.
The Emerging Artist Program is designed specifically for artists who have minimal experience exhibiting and selling their artwork. Applicants will proceed in the same manner as professional artists and submit images of their artwork through the regular application on Zapplication.org. The application fee is the same. Upon acceptance, emerging artists will pay a lower booth fee. Art In The Pearl will provide a tent , electricity, and offer mentoring to help guide the emerging artist through the process of displaying and selling their work.
Artists may only apply as an emerging artist or a professional artist; but they may not apply to both. Artists who meet the requirements of the Emerging Artist Program are encouraged to apply. Art In The Pearl reserves the right to pre-screen and research emerging artists to make sure they qualify for this category.
When applying, select 'Emerging Artist' as your medium category. The jury will select the emerging artists separately from the festival artists.
Artists who are beginning their career in the art world are encouraged
to apply. Applications will be accepted through midnight March 15, 2010 at www.zapplication.org. This application fee is $30.
