Time to Apply: Blue Genie Art Bazaar

The holiday season is one of the best times sales opportunities for artists and handmade business owners. If you have work that is easily giftable, consider Blue Genie Art Bazaar. This event is unique in that it's open for a full month and showcases a wide range of talent. Artists aren't on site the whole time which allows them to keep making items. The application went live in May, but there is still plenty of time to submit. Just be sure you get everything in by August 10th. Here are some key considerations.

Art Event Applications in the Digital Age

Some of you may remember the good old days of filling out and mailing paper applications for art shows. When you hear jury photos, you probably think of slides since that was the format of choice. Thankfully, as we've made our way into the digital era, you can now apply online and with digital images. Not only does this save you the postage, but it also makes the process easier and more efficient so you can submit to a wider range of shows. Truth be told, online platforms like Zapp have streamlined applications for the artists and the organizers as well. If you aren't registered on any of these sites, I highly recommend taking a look at their events to see how they might boost your exposure. I've compiled a list to help you get started exploring these opportunities. If you know of any others that you'd recommend, I'd love to hear about it. Happy Applying!
