2012 SPLASH Artist Program

Supporting Professional Local Artists – Siouxland Homegrown

Sponsored by Weinberg Investments

The SPLASH Artist Program is designed as an alternative marketing opportunity for local Siouxland artists.  The goal for the program is to help those artists who have not explored the festival market, providing a positive first time out.  A SPLASH artist is asked to either be attempting to launch a professional career in the arts or an artist taking his or her established career to the next level.  

Our jury will select five artists to participate free of charge in the 2012 ArtSplash festival on Labor Day weekend, September 1-2.  We connect gifted newcomers with experienced mentors who will help navigate the operational details of selling artwork in the festival market.  The Art Center will furnish a $100 stipend for each artist to either rent or purchase a tent.

Entry is open to any artist who has never taken part in a juried art show and lives in the Siouxland area or surrounding area..  All work must be original and created by the artist.  No students (artist should not currently be enrolled in a high school, trade or training school, or undergraduate program -- we are looking for your own style and vision, not instructor-driven pieces).

Minimum age: 21; no upper age limit.  Artist is eligible to be in the SPLASH artist program only one time (may apply again if you were not accepted in previous years).
