This will be an opportunity to sell all forms of art including, but not limited to: painting, woodworking, jewelry, glass work, fiber arts, stickers, sculpture, ceramics, etc.. Artists who are accepted to show will also receive a 30% discount to our opening ticketed-event on Friday, November 7 if choosing to attend. NOTE that photographs of items/samples of work are the criteria for submission/judging. Photos of samples should be emailed to Kat Harris - artservices@alamancearts.org NO LATER than September 27, 2025. Submissions will NOT be reviewed until the submission fee is received. If the submission fee is not remitted prior to the September 27 deadline, your art will not be included in the judging for inclusion.
Be a part of the Alamance Arts Artist Core - a group of local and regional artists with the goal of connecting to the community through promotion of their art. Artist memberships become “effective” the date they become live on our website and are not limited to visual artists. An Artist Core Membership offers the benefit of being listed on a live, regularly updated document that will be housed on alamancearts.org. Alamance Arts frequently receives requests for recommendations of artists, and this directory will serve as our tool and one for the community to locate talent. In addition, you’ll have increased visibility through our website. (Which in 2024 had 49,000 unique visitors.) And, you can use your membership to help elevate your portfolio.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND READ THE ARTIST CORE AGREEMENT PRIOR TO CHECK OUT
*Note that processing times for launch may be extended, as the directory will not be published until a minimum number of artists have signed up to participate. Your membership will not go into effect until the day the membership goes live on alamancearts.org

Calling all Muralists!
The Harwood Faith Team is partnering with Eastlawn Elementary to create a mural inspired by community voice. This mural would be a daily reminder for students to stay positive, persevere, and never give up on themselves. Visible, encouraging messages have the power to shape school culture, build resilience, and support students’ emotional well-being while also sending a message to the surrounding community. This initiative reflects the values of showing up for our students and community, following through on needs, and creating lasting, meaningful impact. This is a volunteer project, and we would love for any artist who wants to give back to the community to participate. There will be plenty of volunteers available to assist, making this a fun and efficient event. Art supplies will be provided — we just ask that artists give us a list of what they need. To make this project come to life, we are looking for 3-4 muralists who can: work with us to design the mural and supervise the painting of the mural (by adult and youth community members) on Sunday, 8/17.
