Our selection process
The RiverArtsFest Artist Market is juried. Each artist is required to submit an application along with digital representations of their original works and their booth display in advance. These applications are blind reviewed by a volunteer panel of notable members of the Memphis artistic community—each of whom have a vested interest in maintaining the highest quality of art on display and the success of the festival in general. After hours of review, our volunteer jurors select the best of the best among the entrants and an invitation is sent by RiverArtsFest to the artists inviting them to exhibit and sale their works at the festival.
