New to the Best of the Northwest show? Consider applying to the Emerging Artist Program! Applications open in December 2025
Emerging artists are the future of tomorrow’s art, but it’s not always an easy path. We designed our Emerging Artist Program (EAP) to help ease the journey from emerging artist to successful, experienced artist-business person.
Emerging artists are part of the Best of the Northwest Spring show but are juried separately, using criteria similar to our other event artists. Emerging artist winner(s) will be selected and paired with a Northwest Art Alliance legacy artist who acts as a mentor. The EAP artist is awarded a booth space free of charge (including pole, drape, and electricity) in the Best of the Northwest Spring show and features prominently in show promotional materials.
