     Documents:

     Application Fee: $35.00

ELIGIBILITY:       

     The Society of Arts and Crafts ‘Call For Entry’ form is open to all craft artists located within the United States. New England based makers are
     strongly encouraged to apply as well as applicants of diverse media and backgrounds. We recognize that the evolving definition of craft includes
     a wide array of media and techniques, and we encourage artists who are working outside of the traditional craft media (fiber, metal,  wood, glass, &
     ceramics) to make a case for their work in a cover letter. All works should be original and must be fairly recent (produced within the past 5 years).

ENTRY FEE:     

     A $35.00 entry fee will be charged with each application. The payment will be processed at the end of the application form via Paypal.

SUBMISSION:   

     The Society of Arts and Crafts will only accept submissions through Formstack. To view and complete an application please scroll down on this
     page. Only submissions by the artist will be accepted.

     Entries sent via email or by mail will NOT be considered.

• 5 works per artist, per submission.
