Emerging Artisan Application:
Our goal is to encourage and support emerging artisans on their path to becoming professional. We consider an Emerging Artisan to be someone who is 18 years of age or older, has been in business for less than three years, is far into the development of their work, is planning on being a professional artisan, has little show experience, and has been invited by a current exhibiting tour artisan. We look forward to having you join us and supporting your growth!
