Festival · Pendleton, SC, United States · 1 program
The Historic Pendleton Spring Jubilee is an award-winning juried arts and crafts festival located just beyond the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in historic Pendleton, South Carolina. The festival provides an opportunity for professional artists and handcrafters to exhibit in a beautiful and family-oriented environment. Excellent entertainment is provided throughout the event with food vendors serving everyone's favorites. Come celebrate our 50th anniversary at the Upstate's oldest juried arts and crafts festival!
Historic Pendleton Spring Jubilee is proud to join other major art festivals in ZAPP®, the online digital application system. Once an artist creates a profile and uploads images, application to multiple shows is just a click away.
You must include:
The Village Green, 137 Exchange Street, Downtown Pendleton, South Carolina. The Village Green in quaint, picturesque, historic Pendleton provides a unique and lovely location for artists and visitors.
If you are entering any type of jewelry (glass, metal, etc.) you must apply in the jewelry category.
If you are entering work in more than one category, you must submit four images for each category, as well as an application for each category. This requires a separate and distinct profile in ZAPP. You must also submit a non-refundable jury fee of $25.00 for each additional application. You must exhibit your qualifying work at the festival.
A panel of qualified art professionals will review submitted images. Acceptance will be determined by score and category to assure a balanced show. A minimum score-based waiting list will be maintained in each category with cancellations filled from the waiting list. Date of application will serve as a tiebreaker. You will receive notification by January 15, 2027 if you have been accepted as an exhibitor or are on the waiting list.
Jurors will be trained to identify AI images. Under no circumstances are AI works permitted in the show and if the use of AI is detected in your work, applicants will be immediately disqualified from the jury process.
The images you choose will be critical to your acceptance into the show and should focus on the style and techniques used. The jury has only your digital images with which to judge your work.
The images submitted must be representative of at least 90% of your work. Jubilee staff will compare your images to the work displayed in your booth at the festival in order to maintain the quality of the show.
Exhibitors who work together in producing a particular type of work shall be regarded as joint exhibitors and need to submit only one application.
Historic Pendleton Spring Jubilee is a family-oriented show for spectators of all ages. Work exhibited must be in keeping with the family atmosphere.
Whenever possible, requests for specific booth spaces will be considered by the Spring Jubilee staff. No fees for preferential placement will be accepted. A limited number of double booths are available, most of which are grandfathered; contact the Spring Jubilee Director for approval before January 31, 2027.
Application fees are not refunded. Booth fee refunds are granted up to Friday, February 19, 2027 (less a processing fee). No-shows will not receive their booth fees back without speaking with the showrunner and are subject to being disqualified from future events.
