Emerging Artists: New this year is the category of Emerging Artists. Our goal is
to encourage new artists to participate in the world of outdoor festivals by
providing the opportunity to participate in Art in the Park at minimal cost to
them. This category is for artists who are between the age of 18 to 29 years old
and who have never before exhibited or sold their work at an outdoor arts
festival. PJWC reserves the right to research applicants to determine if they are
qualified for this program. This category is limited to 5 artists. Artists may
apply to either the Emerging Artist Program or to Art in the Park through the
regular application process, but they may not apply to both. Emerging artists
are provided a 10' x 10' display tent for use during the festival. (Booth space is
10' x 10'). With the exception of being ineligible for ribbons and money awards,
Emerging Artists are treated to the same amenities as all other festival
exhibitors, including booth sitting, morning refreshments, and nighttime
security. In addition to the discounted participation rate, PJWC will also match
each young artist to a mentor (an experienced festival artist) for guidance and
educational opportunities throughout the Festival to ensure a successful
experience during the weekend.
Fees for Emerging Artists are as follows:


Application: $15 vs. the $25 Artist Application Fee
