The Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show is held on the sidewalk which surrounds the beautiful and historic Rittenhouse Square in the very art-smart city of Philadelphia. Exhibiting only original art work in this affluent area of Philadelphia, artists have found success in both shows and consistently rate them as two of the top shows in the entire country.

The Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Shows are planned, organized and operated by the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Association, a non-profit organization with a Board of Directors comprised of exhibiting professional artists.


ACCEPTABLE WORK – MEDIA CATEGORIES

This is an originals only fine art show. Only non-functional original work created by the artist may be shown and all work must be for sale. No reproductions may be shown or promoted. All work displayed must be of the same or better quality than the work submitted to the jury process.

The following is a list and explanation of those categories accepted for jury.

The Jury Process
This competitive show is limited to 143 exhibitors chosen by a jury of highly qualified 2D and 3D fine artists. All participants in the show will be chosen by this jury. Decisions of the jury are based on the quality, uniqueness, consistency and professionalism of the artwork.

Digital Images

The jury needs to see both the booth display and work similar to the work which the artist plans to bring to the show. [Note: The booth image is mandatory.]
