2021 Pelham Art Festival Returning Artist Registration Delayed to October 1st, 2020
Dear Artists
Registration for Pelham Art Festival 2021 is delayed.
COVID-19 unpredictability continues! Together, people are making every effort to stop this disease. However, we expect that you will want to see how we will be impacted by COVID-19 in the Fall and Winter so you will know if you feel it will be practical and safe to participate in the next Festival.
Traditionally, artist registration begins on August 1, 2020, but for this year, the Pelham Art Festival Committee has decided to delay registration to October 1, 2020 and to change the closing date from January 15, 2021 to February 1, 2021.
Returning artists will have registration priority from October 1 to December 1, 2020 whereas new applying artists will have registration priority between December 1 and February 1, 2021. New artists juried and accepted last February for the 2020 Festival may register for single booths as returning artists.
We invite you to register as soon as possible after October 1, 2020 and hope that the next Pelham Art Festival scheduled for May 7, 8, 9, 2021 will be a special show to remember!

Pelham Art Festival Committee
The Pelham Art Festival is a juried show and sale and has operated using this professional process since beginning in 1987. Annually we welcome new submissions from fine art artists, photographers, sculptors, and one of a kind artisans for gallery style display, and plan to create a revitalized experience for all participants. We welcome Festival artists working on artworks in their booths.
This exhibition is for individual artists only. Companies, artist representatives, vendors, and dealers are not eligible to participate.
Please apply early. To ensure fair assessment of all submissions, registration and application payment postmark dates and time stamps are recorded and taken into consideration by the jury.
The Artist Jury Committee selects artists creating in all mediums for design excellence, quality, and consistency in style, workmanship and originality. The Pelham Art Festival recognizes artisans with great skill and innovation in creative mediums such as pottery, jewellery, fibre, glass, woodturning, etc. The sales potential of artwork is not a consideration. Artists are also selected to round out variety in the show. Accepted Juried Artists are Returning Artists for all future shows.
