Applications for the 2015 Festival are open and ready for your entries!
Visual Artist Applications
Artists that are interested may apply via the online application tool (or visit the CAF site) and submit four digital images of their work, along with one image of their booth display. A jury panel, selected by the CAF Coordinating Committee, conducts a blind jury process, so no biographical information about the artists will be present. Thus, Ohio artists, make sure your works stand out! The artists with the top scores are invited to participate in the Columbus Arts Festival!
Download a complete Prospectus for full information in order to apply for the Visual Artist booth.
Emerging Artist Application
For those of you just starting out in the festival display field, the Columbus Arts Festival offers a separate application to local artists who are new to exhibiting at art fairs through GCAC’s Emerging Artists program!
The Emerging Artist program is designed specifically for artists who have extremely limited or no experience exhibiting and selling their artwork at arts festivals. Artists who apply in this category must be residents of Franklin, Union, Delaware, Licking, Fairfield, Pickaway, Fayette and Madison counties.
Emerging Artist applicants still apply as the Visual Artists do, and the jurying process is conducted as previously stated. Emerging Artists should also download the Prospectus.
The deadline for Visual Artist and Emerging Artist applications is JANUARY 16! For more options to enter the Columbus Arts Festival, visit the CAF website for the various mediums and talent genres for the 2015 Festival.
