June 10‐11, 2017
Opportunity: This is an application to participate in the Flint Art Fair at the Flint Institute of Arts on June 10‐11, 2017. As part of its 50th anniversary, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate university/college students from Southeast Michigan are invited to participate through a juried process. All artists will be juried and all work must be for sale. Display your work as an individual artist or in a student group presentation.

Responsibilities of artists: Once juried in, artists are responsible for set‐up and take down and should plan to attend the fair to be on hand to speak with visitors about their work. Students who participate in a group can arrange booth coverage amongst themselves.
Costs: The registration fee has been waived. Booth fees are $250 per space; double spaces and corner spaces may be requested for additional fees.
