Premier Artist

We seek professional art created by the artist, featuring original designs and quality craftsmanship.

A jury reviews all potential artist’s work.

We accept ALL styles, genres, and mediums, as long as the artist owns the rights or has obtained licenses to the art presented. This includes performing arts.

Our goal is to select a diverse group of artists, artisans, and performing artists who demonstrate high-quality work. By including a wide range of talents, from visual creators to those who captivate audiences through performance, we aim to showcase the richness and variety within the artistic community.

Artists and Artisans must live or have studio time in the Pacific Northwest for a minimum of three months a year.

You must have a Washington Business License (see WADOR for more info.)

Current Premier Artists must reapply every three years, and if their work changes significantly, they must also reapply.
