Applications are reviewed by a committee using a rubric that considers both artistic quality and fit with the festival. We look at:

–Persistence – dedication to theme, medium, or subject matter
–Experimentation – creativity, originality, and risk-taking
–Purpose & Expression – clarity of artistic intent
-Craft – intentional and effective use of materials
-Festival Fit – family-inclusive work suitable for a public setting
-Local Connection – priority is given to artists with ties to our region

This helps ensure the festival showcases art that is creative, meaningful, and welcoming to all audiences.

Each artist is typically allocated an 8 × 8 ft space located within a heritage building on the festival grounds. As these are historic structures, electricity may or may not be available.
