About

Applicants submit four images of their work plus one booth image, scored first in a silent remote round and then by projection. Notifications come February 3, 2027. The Emerging Artist Program is for artists with fewer than five years of exhibiting; accepted artists get a $350 booth fee, a provided tent, mentoring, lodging support and a $5,000 unrestricted grant. The deadline is December 1.
