Becoming an Invited Artist

BECOMING A DOOR COUNTY PLEIN AIR FESTIVAL INVITED ARTIST

The Door County Plein Air Festival is an invitational event. A committee comprised of both notable, professional artists and collectors invites the field of approximately 35 to 40 featured artists. In October each year, the committee reviews a selection of artists from a database we maintain, which includes approximately 1000 plein air artists from around the country. Invitations are extended in November of the year prior to the festival. To be considered by the Door County Plein Air Festival Invitations Committee, an artist must meet the following criteria: • Be recognized regionally/nationally as a plein air artist. • Be represented by a fine art gallery

with sales and regional/national media exposure. • Have been juried, or invited to participate, in other national plein air festivals within the last two years. The committee also considers the following: • Artists must represent a variety of media and styles. • Approximately 40% of participating artists reside in the Midwest. • Approximately 40% are new to the

Festival each year. If you would like to be added to the database or would like to send updated images for our files, please submit the following no later than August 15, 2022 (for possible consideration in 2023): • An email inquiry explaining your interest in the Festival with an active link to your website. • A current resume that verifies a match to the above criteria. • Three digital examples of current plein air artwork (at least 5” x 7” @ 300 dpi). Inquiries accepted by email only. Send to exhibit@PeninsulaSchoolofArt.org.
