You will be asked to select an exhibition category from the list below when submitting your application. These categories will be used in the printed exhibition program, our online artist directory, and for our awards judging.
You can submit up to 3 applications in different exhibition categories. For example, if you create works in ceramics as well as jewellery design and you would like to showcase both in your booth, you need to submit two separate, cohesive applications for each body of work. If both applications are accepted, then you are allowed to showcase works in those categories.
3D Works – original works that are three-dimensional, using additive or reductive techniques, including freestanding sculptures, reliefs, assemblages etc. created using either traditional or experimental materials.
2D Works – original works that are two-dimensional, created using one or more physical material, including Drawing, Printmaking, Illustration, Collage, and Mixed Media works, etc.
Craft & Design – hand crafted objects (functional or decorative) created using fine craft and/or industrial design practices including, Ceramics, Glass, Jewellery, Textile, Wood/Furniture, etc. Multi-disciplinary and/or hybrid practices welcomed.
Painting – works created using oil, acrylic, encaustic, watercolour, inks, etc.
