Finger Lakes GrassRoots 2026 Art Barn Artist Application

The GrassRoots Festival would like to invite artists to show their work in a pop-up exhibition during the 2026 Festival which will be held July 16-19!

The exhibit is open to artists of all ages working in any medium. To be considered, please complete this form and submit up to 4 images of the artworks you intend to exhibit.

Application deadline: May 15, 2026.

Artists who have taken part in past Art Barn exhibitions are encouraged to submit new work that has not previously been shown at the Art Barn.

If you are accepted, a confirmation email and artist agreement will be sent to you by May 31, 2026.  

Artists accepted as craft vendors may not also exhibit work in the Art Barn exhibition. This policy helps us to prioritize exhibition opportunities for artists who are not vending.

All two-dimensional artwork intended for wall display must be properly framed or fully ready to hang with appropriate hardware attached. We do not provide frames, mounting supplies, or hanging hardware. Unframed work or pieces without secure hanging systems cannot be exhibited, and we will not tape artwork to the walls.

All three-dimensional artwork or sculpture must include appropriate display supports provided by the artist, such as pedestals or bases, unless the piece is designed to sit directly on the floor. We do not supply pedestals or display stands, so artists are responsible for ensuring their work can be safely and effectively exhibited.

Note: If you do not have a business name please put your own name on the application.
