EMERGING ARTIST APPLICATION

Welcome to the Alki Art Fair Online Emerging Artist Application. The Alki Art Fair is a juried event, please be sure to read through the application guidance below.

An emerging artist is an artist who is currently developing their unique style and artistic voice. This special category is intended for artists with little or no experience in exhibiting and selling their work at an art fair. You are NOT an emerging artist if you have previously participated in the Alki Art Fair, or are an experienced and frequently shown artist.

Applicants will be juried. If selected, they will be invited to participate in a shared tent with other emerging artists, displaying their art on 6' tables that will be provided. You will not pay a table fee. However, you will be required to have either a City of Seattle Business License or pay a $33 Trade Show License Fee. Additionally you will also be required to have a Washington State Universal Business Identifier (UBI). The Alki Art Fair will help walk you through the process to obtain both of these items, as necessary.
