How are the artists chosen? Artist apply for the show between Nov and early February by sending four images of their art and an image of their display to Webster Arts for review. As many as 450 artists have competed for 105 booths. A jury of three arts professionals review the work and choose what they think is the best fine art and fine craft to be included in the show. Read about our Jurors here. Artists create the work, pay for their booth space, create their booth display and come to our show, some from as far away as California or Toronto! This is their business. Please support them by collecting their unique work.
