The Tenth Annual Art Market at Tyler: Call for Entries

Apply here: http://alumni.temple.edu/CFE2021

The Tyler School of Art and Architecture Alumni Association announces the call for entries for the 2021 Art Market at Tyler. We encourage all individual artists and organizations, Tyler alumni, current Tyler students, groups and guilds to apply. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Art Market at Tyler, and we want to make it a special experience for the artists, makers and visitors from all over who will be a part of it.

Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Art Market will once again be presented completely online. We’re returning to an open call for entries for this iteration of Art Market, with all proceeds from the application fees going to the Tyler School of Art and Architecture’s General Scholarship Fund. In honor of the 10th anniversary of Art Market at Tyler our hope is to honor this milestone by providing unrestricted financial aid dollars for deserving Tyler students as these donations are crucial in positioning them for long-term success.

The Art Market at Tyler website will be presented live over ten days, scheduled around Homecoming Weekend in fall 2021. Artists chosen for this event will be given their own artist profile webpage, which will include a slideshow of their work, a bio or introduction, and a link to their own website or shop so that interested visitors can view and purchase their work. The website will be promoted through Temple and Tyler’s social media and marketing channels, as well as online art event websites and show listings. Last year's virtual Art Market at Tyler received more than 7,000 unique page views from visitors, with more than 20,000 page views overall!

In addition to the artist profiles and shopping component of this year’s Art Market, we plan to feature special events throughout the week, such as artist talks, studio tours and discussions with alumni and friends, to help engage and connect with our audience.

Application Fee:
$15 nonrefundable application/jury fee to be considered an Art Market participant.
All proceeds from the application fee will be donated to the Tyler School of Art and Architecture’s General Scholarship Fund.

We require at least four images of your work; however, you may submit up to 10 images. Label your images using your last name and first initial, followed by a different number for each image (e.g., SmithJ1.jpg; SmithJ2.jpg). You’ll have the opportunity to upload your images in Step 2 of the application form.

Jurying:
Members of the Tyler School of Art and Architecture Alumni Association will facilitate the jurying process. The board comprises professional artists and creatives, all of whom studied at Tyler School of Art and Architecture. Paying the application fee doesn’t guarantee acceptance into the show. Previous acceptance into Art Market at Tyler doesn’t guarantee acceptance into the show. Work for sale during the show should be consistent with images sent for jurying. All artists will be notified of acceptance via email.

• Applications will be accepted now through Monday, June 21, 2021, at 11:59 p.m., EDT.
