Call for Artists

The opening of the Columbia Heights Community Marketplace is just six weeks away from opening (woo-hoo) and organizers are looking for local artists for the 2011 season. Interested artists and artisans have until April 22 to submit an application. You can download the application here (pdf).

Via the marketplace:

Eligibility and Restrictions All art and artisan pieces to be showcased and marketed at the Marketplace must be the original work of the artist(s) who are applying to participate. Each applicant's work will be judged on the work samples included in their application. Agents and sales representatives for individual artists (or groups of artists) are not eligible. However, collaborative art is allowed, and those to whom this applies (i.e., more than two artists) should apply as a single vendor. Please note that the Marketplace combines two elements – a producer-only and geographically restricted farmers market and an open-air, producer-only fine art and craft market.
