Submission Requirements:

•  Artists must be members of Perquiman’s Arts League to apply for jurying. 

•  Artists must submit their pieces on the first Monday of each month. Artists must submit their application by the first Monday of the month, except December and July (the Jury Committee does not meet during these months).

•  Art must be original and have been created within the last two years.

•  At least 75% of the artwork must be handcrafted by the artist. The only exception is fashion/ costume jewelry

•  Samples of the work may be submitted either online or in the Gallery. 

Online submissions – artist must send photographs showing multiple views of the 5 works submitted. (i.e., jewelry includes both front and back of pieces; pottery includes both top, bottom and details of the work).  

 In Gallery submissions – artist must bring 5 physical examples of the work. 

•  Artists must submit 5 examples that are representative of work in each of the preferred categories. 

•  Artists can only jury in one category at a time.

•  Notecards, cards, books, calendars, which contain images of an artist’s work, is not a separate category.
