PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Hip Pop is a bridging program designed to help emerging artists enter the high-end craft show market.

The Hip Pop program is designed to provide artists with:

• A reasonable point of entry to an established marketplace

• Access to a well-educated, affluent audience that appreciates the value of craft

• Engagement with established makers and a supportive community of fellow emerging artists

• A high level of exhibitor support, including a dedicated program manager plus marketing and public relations support.


Pods/Units

The Hip Pop program uses a community-based “pod” structure to provide a supportive atmosphere for participating artists. Hip Pop pods are 20 x 10 ft. inline booths containing six individual units measuring 4 ft. wide x 2ft. deep x 8 ft. high. Each Hip Pop pod will be comprised of a community of six artists.

Utah Arts Festival 2014

Deadline: March 6, 2014 (ONLINE)


Utah Arts Festival 2014

Library Square
Salt Lake City, Utah
June 26 – 29 2014



The Utah Arts Festival is the largest outdoor multi-disciplined event held in Utah. Having garnered numerous awards internationally, nationally and locally, the Festival remains one of the premiere events that kick off the summer in Utah each June. More than 80,000 patrons enjoy four days of award-winning fine arts in the Artist Marketplace, live performances on five stages, street theater, fine arts exhibition, a film program, children's art and culinary arts.

The Festival is open to all artists and craftspeople within the accepted medium categories. Participation in any previous Utah Arts Festival does not guarantee acceptance. By signing this prospectus, the exhibitor assures that he or she has direct, hands on involvement in the creation and execution of each piece of work to be exhibited.

Collaborating artists, if accepted, may show only their collaborative works. Both artists' names should appear on the application. Collaborations are intended to be true artistic collaborations rather than business collaborations. The creative contribution of each artist in the collaboration must be identified on the application. The artist/artists who sign the contract MUST be present at the show.

Media categories are used by the Arts Festival as a tool for organizing artists' images into logical, related groups for the jury's review. While a balanced show that equitably showcases both works of fine art and fine craft as well as diversity among media is a principal Utah Arts Festival objective, the Festival establishes no quota or entitlement by media category.

The Categories: Ceramics, Digital Art and Digital Photography, Drawing, Fiber, Glass, Graphics and Printmaking, Jewelry, Metalworks, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Wearable Art, Wood

Artists wishing to exhibit work in more than one medium must apply separately and submit an application and jury fee for each medium. Completed application, four images, and a non-refundable $35.00 jury fee are due by Thursday, March 6, 2014.

Artists who are juried in will pay a $500 booth fee ($600 for corner booths) for the 4-day festival (due by Friday, April 11, 2014).

Four on site juries will present Best of Show and Awards of Merit. All of the eight award winners are eligible for invitation to the Utah Arts Festival in the year 2015. Best of Show and People’s Choice from the previous year will have their booth fees waived.
