For Artists:
Applications for participation will become available on our website at 5PM on Friday, September 5th. Due to increasing demand and limited space, a new application process will occur. Applications are due Friday, October 3rd. Artists will be notified if they have been approved for participation.

GALLERY GUIDELINES:
 
  • These Featherstone exhibitions in the Francine Kelly Gallery are open to all Martha's Vineyard artists - those who live year round, seasonal residents and those with a prolonged connection to the Island.
  • All forms of art are welcome. Art must be newly created and not previously shown at Featherstone.
  • Two dimensional art must be wired securely and ready to hang (saw tooth hooks will not be accepted).
