To apply, each exhibiting artist must complete an online application. Each application requires a non-refundable jury fee and a complete set of images. We reserve the right to decline any application. **Images** Applicants must submit five (5) images, including a mandatory booth image. The booth image is a critical component of the jury process and should clearly demonstrate how your work will be presented at the Pinecrest Gardens Art & Design Fair. If you are an emerging artist or do not yet have a booth image, you may instead submit a cohesive grouping of your work that reflects your intended presentation style, along with a brief explanation. **Jury Process** The Pinecrest Gardens Art & Design Fair utilizes a closed jury process to select 100% of exhibiting artists. Each application is reviewed virtually by a Select Juror, who scores submissions on a 1–7 scale, with 7 being the highest possible score. Applications receiving a score of 4 or below will not be selected for participation. All jury decisions are final. Selection is based solely on submitted images and is evaluated for consistency, innovation, and technical skill—hallmarks of a professional practicing artist. While media categories are used to organize submissions for review, the Pinecrest Gardens Art & Design Fair maintains no quotas or guarantees by category. A balanced representation of artists, artisans, and designers is prioritized. **Awards** Judging will take place on Saturday, January 23. A panel of judges will visit each booth to evaluate the body of work and booth presentation in person. Award recipients will be announced in the afternoon. A total of up to $10,000 in awards will be distributed at the 2027 Pinecrest Gardens Art & Design Fair. ### Rules and regulations - Incomplete applications will not be accepted or reviewed. - All work must be original and created by the accepted exhibitor.
