The Guild's Standard Review of Exhibiting Members - 2025

This is a private application open only to those who hold Exhibiting Membership status with the Guild of Artists & Artisans. In order to be eligible for the Guild's Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair, Exhibiting Members must participate and pass the Standards Jury Review every three years. Exhibiting Members who participate in and pass the 2025 Standards Review will be granted eligibility for the 2026, 2027 and 2028 Ann Arbor Summer Art Fairs.

The Standards Review takes place as a normal jury would. Exhibiting Members must submit NEW work images (not previously used in past standards reviews.) Each Member will be scored based on the Guild's Exhibition and Standards rules as well as technical competency and originality. A passing score of 66% is required to maintain your eligibility. Applications open on Thursday, August 4th with a deadline of midnight EST, Friday, September 26, 2025. There is no fee for Guild Exhibiting Members to participate in the review.

Applicants must submit four (4) NEW work images and one (1) NEW booth image with work displayed. If applying in two or more categories, please submit an application for each medium. The Standards Review jury takes place September 29 & 30, with email notification of results on October 6. If you do not submit your application by the deadline, you will be forfeiting your ability to remain an exhibiting member and will have to jury into the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair annually.
