Artist Jury:
Are you an artist or a crafter? Consider going through the jury process to sell your craft at the Appalachian Arts Craft Center! Artists can apply for one craft per jury session. If artists have multiple crafts ie; ceramics and woodworking they must apply for either ceramics or painting per jury session. The jury process is conducted three times a year. To apply in 2022, artists must bring 3 samples of their best work for the category they are jurying for, the $25 nonrefundable application fee, and the completed entry forms by the close of business on February 1, May 31, and September 27.
For more information, download the Jurying into the Appalachian Arts Craft Center and review the Standards Category Requirements for your particular craft or call the Appalachian Arts Craft Center at 865-494-9854, or email us at info@appalachianarts.net
