ARTWORK:

• All artwork submitted in the application and exhibited at ART Prowl must be original to the artist and made by the artist's own hand - not by employees or contractors. Artists may exhibit work on commercially printed items such as stickers or shirts, as long as the designs are original to the artists. 

• ART Prowl is a fine art and craft show. Vendors selling items such as food products, soap, candles, non-art items, and/or non-handmade items may not be accepted. If you have questions about the eligibility of your artwork, please email director@artroundtennessee.org

• Buy/sell vendors and goods are strictly prohibited.

• Artists must apply as individuals, not a group, unless they collaborate on a single body of work.

EMERGING ARTIST ELIGIBILITY & INFORMATION:

• The Emerging Artist program is meant for artists who are new to exhibiting and/or selling their work. Emerging artists will share an exhibition space in a location that will be announced upon acceptance into ART Prowl. Art Round Tennessee will hold an emerging artist meeting before the event to discuss tips for showing & selling your work and will provide assistance in setting up the group's exhibition space.

• Artists may not apply if they have participated in a previous ART Prowl.

• Emerging artists should have little to no experience selling their artwork (less than 2 years).

• The minimum age to exhibit as an emerging artist is sixteen years old.

• Artists may only submit one application - either the general artist application or emerging.

• We will only be selecting a maximum of five emerging artists this year. If your application is not accepted, we encourage you to apply again next year. Applications will be judged based on originality of work, craftsmanship, and overall quality. We tend to receive an overwhelming number of emerging artist applications; if you think your work could be strong enough for a regular booth, we strongly encourage you to apply as a non-emerging artist, as we will only be selecting a maximum of five emerging artists this year.
