Artist Applications

The Tephra ICA Arts Festival is a highly selective fine art and fine craft outdoor exhibition. Each year, three top visual arts leaders, artists, and practitioners are identified as jurors to allow a thoughtful and critically engaged review process. Each application will be digitally reviewed by jurors and they will select the most accomplished artists within ten categories from around the nation to present their works at the Festival.

Applications for the 2023 Festival are now OPEN, and must be submitted through Zapplication.

Deadline to apply, January 9, 2023 by midnight EST.
