Artist of the Month Contest

Encouraging All Crafters to Strive for Excellence in their Art Form

Each year, the Museum Director selects a distinguished individual or panel with exceptional credentials to judge and choose twelve (12) winners and two (2) alternates from the crafters participating in our Fair. The selected crafters are then honored as our “Artists of the Month” for the following year.

Crafters are judged for their uniqueness, creativity, presentation, individual art form and excellence of their craft.

As a winner of this prestigious award:

You will win a prize that recognizes your outstanding achievement.
Your work will be showcased in the Museum during your designated month of honor.
Museum staff will handle the sale of your items on your behalf.
You will receive a $100 honorarium and reimbursement for mileage for one round trip from your home to the Hansen Museum.

Exposure

Your name, city, state, and craft will be prominently featured in our quarterly newsletter, ensuring widespread visibility for your work.
You may also be featured in articles published in local newspapers and on various websites.

Winners Responsibilities

Please arrange to set up your display inside the Museum as close to the beginning of your assigned month as possible.
You will also be responsible for picking up your display at the end of your designated month.

Limits

Crafters are not eligible to win the “Artist of the Month” award for three consecutive years. To qualify, you may win for two years and must take a break for one year.
This ruling on consecutive wins applies to alternates only when they fill an ‘Artist of the Month’ opening. Alternates who step in are subject to the same two-year win limit, followed by a one-year break.
