We seek artists who actively promote and sell their work, demonstrate professionalism, and are eager to collaborate in promoting the tour. Selection is based on the quality of your work, enthusiasm for group activities, and commitment to the tour’s success. It is preferable that an artist applicant use social media and/or a website to promote and sell their artwork.
