Art on the Square selects new jurors each year from museum curators, professional artists, designers, and studio instructors. Each entry is digitally reviewed and scored independently by jurors using criteria of originality, technical competence, artistic merit, and booth presentation. This is a blind jury process. Approximately 105 artists will be invited to participate, with up to 10% exempt from jury selection.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
