Jury and critique applications for Spring 2025 are now open! Jury sessions take place bi-annually in March and October. Jury and critique applications are due by February 1st.
Juried members of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen share the distinction of being the “best of the best,” nationally recognized as exceptional artisans who have met the League’s rigorous standards of creativity, innovation and technical expertise in their chosen fine craft.
Call for Artists: To learn more about becoming a juried member, please choose from one of these options:
- Learn more about the Jury Process and apply for a jury session on our Jury Information page.
- If you are not sure if your work is ready for the jury, you can apply for a Critique Session with experienced jurors and receive valuable feedback about your craft.
Applicants must be a resident of New Hampshire or reside in a town in Maine, Massachusetts, or Vermont that has part of its town limits within ten miles of the New Hampshire border.
Please carefully review the MEDIA GUIDELINES for your craft and the current STANDARDS POLICIES.
At this time, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen does not jury or critique Fine Art such as paintings, drawings, or other 2D media with the exceptions being PRINTMAKING and PHOTOGRAPHY.
The MIXED MEDIA category specifically applies to assemblages and 3D sculptures of mixed materials, handcrafted items combining elements from other juriable media, and/or painting and surface designs on unique objects such as handmade furniture or preserved gourds.
If you have any questions about where and if your work fits into the League jury process, contact [email protected] BEFORE submitting an application.
All attempts are made to accommodate requests for critique/jury sessions. Ultimately critique/jury sessions are determined by applicant and juror availability and a minimum of 3 applicants and 2 jurors are required to host sessions in that particular media. In the event that the minimum number of applicants/jurors are not available, critiques/juries for that media may be postponed until the next season of sessions.
