what is the jury process?
​
The term “juried” often appears in the description of an outdoor art show, but what does that really mean? It may mean something a little different for each show producer, but overall it suggests that the show chooses its exhibitors through a process that focuses on the quality of the artwork.
The Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show uses a “blind jury”, which means our jurors do not see the artist’s names while viewing the artwork during the jury process. From the hundreds of applications we receive, one hundred and forty three artists are carefully selected for their artistic approach, and effective display.
In order to keep our shows fresh, we also invite new guest jurors for each show, who join our board in deciding which artists will be included in our June and September shows. These art professionals are chosen for their expertise in various media, and/or leadership roles in arts organizations.
Come on out to the show and see the results of this process.
