Application Process
1 Please dowload and complete the Kennedy Guild Artist Application Form.
2 Art Samples, minimum of 3 per medium, are to be brought with the application plus a non-refundable fee of $10 to the Arts Center for review by the Guild Screening Committee.
3 Screening: The Committee looks for originality in the work from design through production. Jewelry is to be created by the artist either in the setting or in the components or both. The committee is also mindful of the need for a balance of media and/or subject matter in the operation of the Art Shop where members' work is displayed.
4 Notification: Applicants will be notified within two weeks of submission of work.
