The Fountain Hills Art League and FHCCA are sponsoring the 2021 Fountain Hills Juried Art Show, a virtual event.

ELIGIBILITY

We invite artists who are residents of the greater Fountain Hills, Verdes, Goldfield Ranch, and Fort McDowell areas, or members of the Fountain Hills Art League to apply.

CATEGORIES

• Photography and digital imaging
• Paintings, including oil, acrylics, watercolor, and mixed (more than one medium)
• Drawings, including charcoal, pencil, ink, and pastel
• Other, including sculpture, ceramics, fiber art, beaded art, jewelry, wood, and more

CRITERIA FOR JUDGING

• Design/composition based on Principles and Elements of Design
• Demonstrated skill
• Visual impact
• Emotional impact
• Photos will be judged using the same criteria as paintings rather than technical aspects

Art must be original, no reproductions, created within the last three years, and appropriate for this public venue (i.e. non-political, no nudity). Photos used in the creation of your art must be your own or used with permission from the photographer.

PRIZES

First, Second, and Honorable Mention ribbons will be awarded for each category, plus additional monetary awards depending on the number of entries. Best of Show will win a $100 prize.

Winners will be announced on January 7, 2021.
