FOR ARTISTS

 

Type
This is a JURIED Art Festival.

The term “juried" refers to fine artists and crafters who bring their own art, created and executed by their own hand, and of professional quality. This work is limited to the work of a single artist or a two person team collaborating and producing each piece together. Juried artists in the painting, drawing and graphics categories may also bring reproductions or photo mechanically reproduced work (of their own originals), but it must be kept in bins and the work must clearly be marked as reproductions. Limited edition prints are allowed only if they are prints of artwork executed by the exhibitors and have been properly signed and numbered. These limited edition prints cannot constitute more than 40% of the art work for sale. All work must be original art that has been personally created by the exhibiting artist. The display and sale of imports, manufactured items, or items that are produced with the use of commercial kits, mold, patterns, forms or other commercial production methods are not permitted. This rule will be strictly enforced.


Location
Desert Diamond Casino, I-19 and Pima Mine Road.
