Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show - Student Application, June 2026

The 99th Annual June Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show invites art students enrolled in an accredited fine arts degree or certificate program to apply. If selected, exhibitors will have the opportunity to exhibit with one of the top-rated shows in the country and gain exposure to the outdoor art festival world. The show is held at Rittenhouse Square Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from June 5-7, 2026.

The Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Shows accept only original, non-functional fine art. Acceptable media categories include oils/acrylics, watercolors, printmaking, drawing/pastels, sculpture, and mixed media. NO reproductions, functional art, photography, or digitally created work may be exhibited. All work must be created within the last 2 years and available for sale at a minimum price of $50. Students are welcome to share a booth, but both must pass the jury process and each will pay the $100 participation fee.

Applications require submission of five digital images: four individual pieces of artwork (cropped to the artwork only, without frames or people) and one image of current school ID. Student artists are selected by a jury of professional fine artists based on quality, uniqueness, consistency, and professionalism. The application deadline is March 23, 2026, with no application fee required. Once accepted, the $100 participation fee is due by April 30, 2026. Artists must be present all three days of the show and provide their own white display tent with roof and sides. A mandatory Zoom training meeting will be scheduled for accepted artists.
