    As a Juried Artist applicant, your work will be judged against all other participating applicants in the categories of Accents, Art to Wear – Fashion, Art to Wear – Jewelry, Mixed Media, Leather, Metal, and Woodworking. Only 100 artists will be selected through this initial jury process to display their work on a pedestal at the Western Design Conference Exhibit + Sale.

    Nearly $20,000 in cash awards is presented annually. Please present photos and descriptions that best depict the custom, handcrafted, and unique attributes of your FUNCTIONAL ART.
