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.
