How to apply
2025 Artisans Studio Tour Applications
The Tour is open to all Virginia Artisans. Applications for new artisans are due by April 6, 2025.
Once juried in, returning artisans are eligible to rejoin the Tour each year. However, if it has been more than 5 years since your last participation on the Tour, we ask you to re-apply.
All artisans should turn in participation forms, $400 payment, and all required materials by June 2, 2025.
Emerging artisan program:
Our goal is to encourage and support emerging artisans on their path to becoming professional, so we offer emerging artisans a reduced fee of $100 for the first year and $200 for the second. We consider an Emerging Artisan to be someone who is 18 years of age or older, has been in business for less than three years, is far into the development of their work, is planning on being a professional artisan, has little show experience, and has been invited by a current exhibiting tour artisan. Once invited by a current artisan/mentor, emerging artisans should fill out the Artisan Participation Form by June 2, 2025. We look forward to having you join us and supporting your growth!
