Jury Process + Criteria
Jury Process
Each application is juried by our art + design team. Applications are juried according to the criteria listed below, event aesthetic, variety of product genres, diversity of both upcoming and established artists, and the size of the event.
Depending on the size of the event space, we are able to accommodate more or less artists, which may (or may not) determine your application result. Please see the Booth Sizes + Prices grid to see how large each event is comparatively.
Please note, the timing of when you submit your application does not affect your grade; we jury all applications once the application window closes.
Whether you are accepted or not, or waitlisted, you will receive an email on the notification date listed above. If you didn’t receive an email from us, please check your spam folder. If you applied for a Grant, you will receive news a few days after notifications are released.
