This is YOUR exhibit. You will dictate how pieces are displayed and provide an artist statement. Consider this as your first show as a professional artist!

We invite you to showcase your creativity and passion. We already know your work is excellent, and we want to show it off to over 25,000 Festival attendees this June.

REMINDER: Your work MUST be able to hand unless it is ceramic/sculpture. Your name and the name of the piece MUST be on EVERY piece. No exceptions.
