Q: How do I apply for the Plaza Art Fair?
A: ARTISTS: Please click here to apply to be part of the 2024 Plaza Art Fair.

Q: I don’t have a booth shot. Can I still apply?
A: All artists must have a booth shot. This is something the judges look at very closely. If the artist does not have a booth we ask they set up their pieces as they would display them at the fair. They do not need a canopy. The judges like to see how the pieces are displayed. The booth shot also offers another perspective on how large the pieces are.

Q: How many images are needed to apply?
A: Artists should submit a total of five (5) digital images, professional quality. Four (4) digital images must be of individual pieces of current work and one (1) digital image, (number 5), must be of your current display. The display slide should reveal no names, have no people standing in the booth, and have your work displayed in the booth. If possible, booth display should represent an outdoor booth setup.

Q: I am a painter as well as a sculptor. Can I apply with both art forms?
A: Yes, however a separate application, images and jury fee of $40 must be submitted for each category that an individual artist enters. Multiple applications must represent either work in different media categories or distinctly separate bodies of work within one category. Artists must use a separate and distinct profile to apply in multiple categories.
