SELECTION PROCESS: A jury of peers and other professionals with expertise in a variety of craft media will be convened to review all applications. Craft artists will be selected to participate based on the strength of their artwork and robustness of their art practice.
Works that showcase excellence in technique, originality, innovation, and aesthetic will be given priority. Project organizers will also be seeking to create a diverse group; craft artists
at varying stages of their careers, working in a range of craft media, and from a diversity of backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Achieving a balance of media and a mix of return and new vendors will be secondary considerations.
