Thank you for your interest in being an Emerging Artist set up at on Snake Alley during Snake Alley Art Fair 2026!
This opportunity is geared towards individuals who have great potential in their artistic practice but have not yet received major recognition for their work. Artists may be any age, but we specifically invite those artists with little to no exhibition experience.
Art Center of Burlington encourages students and young artists to apply. Adults (18+) may exhibit as an emerging artist for no more than 2 years.
- All visual arts media are eligible.
- All artwork must be original work of the individual displaying it.
- Only original artwork is allowed.
- Emerging artists are set up on Snake Alley.
- Artists are responsible for their own tents and setting up their displays.
- Artists take care of their own sales, the Art Center DOES NOT take a percentage of any sales.
We will only be accepting 15 emerging artist booths this year. There may be a chance that not all emerging artists who apply will get a booth.
In addition to filling out this form, you need to email 3 images of the work you plan to sell at SAAF to jessi@btownart.com.
There is a $25 fee to participate if accepted.
