Art Submission

Participants in the Art Party are nominated by prior participants. If you are interested in participating, have a look at the lists of participants found on the old websites (listed on the footer of THIS website) and see if you can find someone to nominate you. You don’t necessarily have to KNOW them — or they you — you just need to convince them to nominate you.

* Please note that “nomination” does not guarantee admission.

This year — because of the large number of participants — all new nominees will be reviewed by a panel of jurors.

Participation is by nomination only. Unfortunately, we cannot accept unsolicited submissions.

Art Sales Policy

The sale of art is strictly between the artist and the buyer. Anne Sconberg, Mark Henderson, Anne and Mark’s Art Party, Backwater Arts LLC and Art Party SJ do not get involved with the sale of art at Anne and Mark’s Art Party. We do not negotiate, transport, receive money or make other arrangements to facilitate any sale of artwork. There is a commission of 20% due to the Art Party from the artist on successful sale of artwork as a result of its being shown at Anne and Mark’s Art Party.

All of the art is to remain where it is placed for the complete duration of the event.
