Mediums

Categories help us curate a balanced and engaging festival. While there is no fixed quota for each medium, artists are selected to ensure strong variety and visual interest throughout the event.

​

• Drawing

  • Original artwork created by the artist’s hand using charcoal, digital tools, pastel, pencil, ink, or similar media.

• Fiber

  • Works created from natural or synthetic fibers, including basketry, weaving, papermaking, leatherwork, and fabric-based art. (Craft-only items are not accepted.)

• Furniture

  • Functional or decorative furniture designed and handcrafted by the artist.

• Glass

  • Handcrafted works created through glass blowing, kiln forming, casting, or fusing.

• Jewelry

  • Original jewelry designs handcrafted by the artist.

  • Commercial findings are permitted; mass-produced components are not.

• Mixed Media

  • Artwork incorporating two or more distinct media or materials.

• Painting

  • Original works created in oil, acrylic, or watercolor.

  • A limited number of clearly labeled reproductions (giclées or prints) are acceptable if the primary inventory consists of original paintings.

• Photography

  • Original photographs captured and produced by the artist. Digital enhancements or hand-painted elements are allowed.

• Pottery

  • Handcrafted works in clay, porcelain, stoneware, or earthenware.

  • Bisque pieces from commercial molds are not permitted.

• Printmaking

  • Original works created by the artist using metal plates, stone, blocks, composite reliefs, or screens.

• Soap Making

  • Handcrafted soaps created by the artist, including original fragrances or formulations.

• Sculpture

  • Three-dimensional works carved, modeled, cast, or constructed from any material.

• Wood

  • Functional or decorative works primarily crafted from wood.

• Urban Arts

  • Street-inspired or contemporary works created by the artist in any medium. (If you’d like to narrow this further—spray art, stencil art, lettering, murals—I can refine this category.)

• Other

  • Creative, high-quality, unique, up-cycled, or unconventional works that do not fit neatly into the categories above may still be accepted at the festival.
