Application Fee Entry Rules
Jury Process The jury process will be conducted by a panel of four distinguished arts-industry professionals, and will be based solely on the quality of work as illustrated by the images submitted. Projected images will be reviewed by the panel in a blind jury process, rating each artist from one to seven. A maximum of 100 artists will receive invitations; the balance of artists receiving a score determined by the show Director will be retained to comprise a waiting list of alternates. Decisions of the jury are final. The images submitted, along with the Artist Statement, will be the only criteria used in the selection process. The work presented must be for sale and should be professionally and creatively presented. There will be no quotas for Autumn & Art. Artistic excellence and a well-balanced show are the criteria for selection of exhibitors. Wichita Festivals, Inc. strongly supports the jury review process and decisions made by the panel, and will not, as a normal course of business, circumvent or alter their selections. However, WFI reserves the right to make specific changes and to determine the final composition of the show. The President/CEO has the final authority to make such adjustments as deemed necessary. Wait-list artists will be contacted by telephone should an opening become available.
