Emerging Artist Guidelines

The Emerging Artist Program fosters and highlights the next generation of exhibiting artists by creating an opportunity for NEW artists to participate in a fine art show. New Artists are defined as currently enrolled in or recently graduated (within 2 years) from a university, college or art school. Consideration will also be given to artists without formal training who have never exhibited in a fine art show/festival.

Poets

Poetry Applications are due February 1, 2025

Poetry Guidelines

The East Lansing Art Festival publishes a poetry journal to support creative, written expression within the community. A limited number of copies of the journal will be available at the festival, at other East Lansing Art Festival events throughout the year and upon request.
