These opportunities have been selected from several hundred as most appropriate for serious fine artists, traditional or contemporary. We favor things that are free to the entrants, offer good rewards in relation to the fees, increase the exposure of those accepted, or are prestigious or special in some other way. Where an opportunity seems to be a particularly good fit, we have marked it with.. |+| as an “editor’s choice. Entries marked with ~ are generally better for artists living nearby or with limited experience. Please keep in mind that these judgements are made only on the basis of the information available in the prospectus; nothing herein is an endorsement or criticism of any kind. Unlike other listing services, we do not knowingly include for-profit galleries that charge fees to look at slides, individuals pretending to be galleries or contests that exist only to turn a profit for the promoters. (See www.artopportunitiesmonthly.com/notlisted.html for some of the reasons.) Please report such listings to us.
