Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin 47th Annual Art Harvest HISTORY: This popular event, which began 47 years ago as a small arts gathering, has evolved into one of the most well-respected juried fine art shows involving over 200 accomplished artists from around the country. Held on the first weekend in November at Highlander Park in Dunedin, Florida, this event continues to grow year after year. As the largest autumn outdoor art show in Tampa Bay, Art Harvest attracts over 50,000 art enthusiasts annually, and there’s something for everyone. While adults browse the artists’ booths, a Children’s Tent provides an interactive art experience for children with arts and crafts projects related to the current year’s theme. Both artists and patrons of the arts have found this event to be an enjoyable and successful weekend affair. Thank you to our all- volunteer committee, and to our community partners that provide sponsorship dollars every year to make this event a huge success. AWARDS:
Best of Show: $ 6,000
Award of Distinction: $ 2,200
Patron's Award: $1,500
10-Award of Excellence ($1,000 each) $10,000
13-Award of Merit ($600 each) $7,800
Cash Awards Totaling: $27,500 APPLICATION PROCESS: Each exhibiting artist must complete an online application with only one artist per entry, unless you are entering as a team in collaboration. All work represented MUST be of original design and produced by the artist or artist collaboration. Artists may apply in more than one category, but a separate online application must be filled out for each category. Each application must include a jury fee and its own set of images. IMAGES: Submit four images, three of individual pieces of artwork and one of your booth display. The purpose of a booth display image is to ensure the artist has a complete body of work which is represented in the first 3 images. In addition, it also helps identify the scale of the artist’s work. The images must be an accurate representation of the work to be exhibited and reflect current creation. Image quality is important, so please submit images in 1920 x 1920 pixels. NOTE: This is a blind jury process; please do not include your name, company name or a photo of the artist themselves on any image.
For more information on digital image submission access: www.zapplication.org/imagin¬g_tips.phtml ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS:
Multiple Categories: An artist may apply in multiple medium categories for different bodies of work, but may exhibit in only one category per booth at the show. A separate application including its own set of images and jury fee must be submitted for each medium.
Collaborating Artists: Collaborating artists is defined as a group of (2) artists that collaborate on every piece of artwork. If two artists collaborate, you will be regarded as a single exhibitor and may only exhibit artwork which is a collaboration. The names of both artists must be on the application and a description of the team involvement with the art produced must be provided. If accepted, both artists must be present for the duration of the show. 2009 AWARD WINNERS: Award winners of Art Harvest 2009 are exempt from the jury process and are automatically accepted into their awarded category for Art Harvest 2010. To confirm your participation, returning award winners must submit an application to ZAPP, which includes submission of the following: digital images, jury fee and booth fee. JURY PROCESS: The jury consists of a panel of three experienced art professionals representing museum curators, gallery owners, professional artists and art educators. Decisions by the jurors are based solely on the quality of work in the submitted images. The jurors have sole discretion on which artists will be invited to attend or be held as alternates. Images must clearly represent all work intended for exhibition at Art Harvest. Each category will be juried separately. Protected images are reviewed by the panel in a blind jury process with multiple rounds. The identities of the artists are not disclosed to jurors. The jury will view each artist’s set of four images including booth display. The process, materials and dimensions for each image as well as artist information statements will be made available to the jury. Artistic excellence and a well balanced show are the criteria for selection of exhibitors at Art Harvest.
The top 215 artists will receive an invitation to the show; however there are no established quotas for individual media categories. The 26 award winners of 2009 are automatically juried into the show, and a reserve list of up to 15 artists from each media category may also be selected. An artist must achieve a minimum score to be considered for the show or reserve list. RESERVE LIST: The reserve list is a tool used to (a) give an additional artist an opportunity to participate in the show in the event of a cancellation and (b) fill all available exhibit spaces for continuity and quality of the show. Being placed on the reserve list is not a guarantee that you will be placed in the show and it is not awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis the weekend of the event. Should a space becomes available, the Art Harvest Committee will contact an artist on the reserve list to offer the opportunity to participate in the show. JLCD reserves the right to accept or deny any applications to the show. All decisions are final. MEDIA CATEGORIES:
