This opportunity is open to participating Winter Market 2024 artists, including part-time students. Students must be registered in at least 1 credit-granting course to be eligible. Artist Groups may also apply! 

We are looking for students who enjoy making art in public, answering questions, and are open to learning! Your demo pitch should tell us what kind of art you make and why you want to demo for the public. Tell us why you think what you're making would be interesting for people of all ages to watch! Keep in mind due to safety guidelines, not all processes can be accepted.

Some examples of great demos include:

• Hand-beading and jewelry making
• Digital speedpaints on a drawing tablet and screen
• Traditional speedpaints on canvas or paper
• Hand-built ceramics
• Silkscreening and linocut printing
• Bookbinding and papermaking

For safety, the following processes are restricted:

• Usage of toxic chemicals
• Excessive dust particulates or liquids
• Machinery (electrical or manual) over 3ft x 3ft
• Flame or heat emitting tools
• Ceramic throwing wheels, kilns, dremels

Demoing Artists are expected to attend 2 one-hour training sessions
in Oct-Nov and provide an artist bio, demo description, and image of themselves or their artwork. They are responsible for sourcing their own materials and equipment, and for ensuring the safety of themselves and the public during their demo.

Successful students will receive a $300 honorarium with up to $50 for materials, additional marketing, and mentorship.
